Weed wacking

July 2, 2013

We have consistent giant ragweed problems in our fencerows. They proliferate quickly if we don’t cut them and spray something on them. I’m not a proponent of using chemicals but I would be out here all year hoeing down ragweed if we didn’t.

Makin’ dust

I can’t believe it! I’m creating dust! This is day 4 of no rain! A record for this year so far. Everybody is out getting their field work done before the next 4 days of rain start. I hope to finish planting beans tonight.

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.
