Diversified Farming


There is a lot more to farming than driving the tractor up and down the rows. Especially at this time of year. The morning yesterday was spent checking each new planting, evaluating the condition of the plants, and prioritizing what needed to be replanted, planted for a second (or third) harvest, and what to plant next and where.


When you are working with limited space, planning is important to get the most out of the prepared rows as well as timing for harvest and maturation time of each crop. Diversified growing is so important to us and what we are doing, but it requires a lot more organization than seeding multiple acres of the same crop.
