Oats and radish

October 7, 2014

We seeded 3 lbs/ac oats and radish early September and have had optimal weather conditions since then for germination and growth. The radishes are having a slower time but if the temperature sees 60 degrees this month, they will really grow fast.

Our first official cover crop

October 7, 2014

This late August we flew on our first cover crop into standing corn. We seeded cereal rye. Here’s a shot of the nice green blanket it created. We’ve had optimal weather for germination and growth.

About me

Farming is cool, way cool. At least that is what I decided it would be when I made the decision to move back to a small family farm in rural Iowa from my home in Los Angeles, California.

I realized that I want to grow and eat my own food, raise animals in a humane and natural way and be a steward of the land to help provide food, fuel and fiber to the world. I want to be a part of the movers, shakers and innovators that are bringing a positive change to rural America.

I hope that this blog will provide a glimpse into the world of a simple mid-west farm. Sharing my farming experiences, so you can join the journey and witness the changes that will happen over the course of this blog. That is my goal.

Enjoy.
