Your daily dose of rye. #ryeallday #covercropseed #aroostookrye #driftless

Three day old calves are rarely so keen to nuzzle up to us humans, so when it happens it is quite enjoyable. As challenging as the spring has been to get crops in, all the rains have given us a bounty in the pastures.

We got the polenta planted yesterday! Our open-pollinated yellow/orange flint corn started years ago as a composite, and we are three years into hand selecting ears to improve it and adapt it to our farm.

An accidental, but not unwelcome, companion in the spring wheat. This field is dotted with red and white clover in bloom, a legacy of the years that this area was a pasture.

The best hammer in the world can still smash your thumb. That’s the way it is with any tool. We’ve turned a few heads this spring trying out a new moldboard plow, a tool that, through its rampant misuse by generations of farmers, has come to be roundly viewed as an instrument of pure evil on the American farming landscape.
It is true that from a soil erosion perspective there’s probably nothing more harmful than fall moldboarding (or chiseling!) up and down hillsides on a sloped fenceline-to-fenceline field. The plow is not the problem, on its own. The right plow, at the right time, at the right depth, and on the right field can be an instrument of conservation.
While American farmers have scorned the plow, many in Europe are not only still using plows sustainably, but are still finding ways to engineer better ones.
This Kverneland plow is engineered to pull with less horsepower and therefore less diesel per acre than common American plows, has a real-time variable width adjustment from 12”-20”, and tips the furrows up on one another at an angle, to improve infiltration and green manure incorporation, unlike an American plow that does a more complete inversion. It is also a high-clearance plow, so it can knock down a hip-high cover crop with no issues.

These “Paul” hullless oats are really enjoying the cool temperatures. This decades-old variety came highly recommended on flavor, and so far they are enjoying life on our windswept ridge tops. In just a few short months, we’ll have hopefully even more robust, flavorful, and nutritions raw rolled oats for sale! #rawrolledoats #realfood #growyourown #oatsfordays
