Our Story:
We are five years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney
Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled
with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our
pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden
organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is
to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living
has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our
journey!

excellent! My prediction is the plow is going to make a major comeback.
It’s good to put furrows in deep if it’s been a few decades. Next time you drop the plow, only turn 3-4” deep or disc it, keep the heavy clay down not up. Your crops and fertilizer will eventually make great top soil.

plowing is actually the worst thing you can do to soil. most industrial farms are slowly moving towards a no till seeding method. its been proven time and time again soil health improves when old conventional farm methods are eliminated. people are moving to no till regenerative agriculture and are seeing much improved soil health and yields with little to no fertilizer and pesticides used.
Love it Brad!

I love how people always want to talk about the horsepower on their tractors but the horsepower don't mean shit what is impressive about tractors is the amount of torque they have and that is what gets your work done not the horsepower the horsepower is how fast you do to work the torque is how well you do the work you can have all the horsepower in the world but without any torque all you would do is sit there
