We plow and harrow every four or five years - we are very cognizant of soil issues here on the Potomac so we no-till as much as possible.

The farm never looks better than when freshly tilled. Yesterday.

Looks good. What are the issues regarding plowing? Haven’t heard that issue before, just curious.

Any number of issues: run-off into the Chesapeake Bay (the Potomac River is in the background and the land in the distance is Virginia) from rain and loose soil, wind-borne erosion, chemical drift in plowed fields, etc.

No till works great through four/five years cycles of crops. I also recycle horse manure and other compost material into the fields both in no till and plow events.

All part of the soil plan written with the Maryland Ag folks, who are great. Save the Bay!

Your comment about recycling horse manure brought back a picture in my mind as a little kid of my grandpa doing that with a horse drawn manure spreader on his farm in Illinois.

Thanks for that. Learned something new today regarding the E.C. and the Bay. My parents have ten acres here in CA but they don’t use the land like you do. They have a manure spreader that they use on occasion. A small one he pulls behind his kabota.


Pops n Henry (we lost Sir Henry last year) The parents have ten acres of pasture art via fat animals, aka pets. Horses, lamas, sheep, goats, chickens, dogs n cats
