We couldn’t do what we love without those wonderful men and women. Here is our small way of supporting them!

There are a lot of great companies out there. Here is a little about how/why/what we wanted to bring to the table when it comes to food plotters to gardeners to farmers. Thanks for giving it a watch!

Ok ok. I know I know - I talk about exclusion fences a lot but I just cannot explain the importance enough. I continue to learn from them.
This field is new and has a sub 5 ph (although lime has been applied). Deer are eating in it often and it’s a good sized field (a few acres).
All that said - the Carbon Load is putting on TONNAGE right now. However, look at the inside of the cage in comparison. It’s a difference in feet! The deer have removed and kept the growth outside the fence at a reduced rate of regeneration.
Now that’s not all bad but certainly will help us to make decisions on doe harvest, foliar applications, and seeding/plant density to give us the best fields possible for our soils and wildlife.

Just using our fish+humics - working to create more biomass, period. However, I also have plfa, conventional and Haney tests here to further analyze if needed.
In the above post when I say “foliar applications” I simply mean, that using them to drive biomass will be helpful if/when I have time. Most of my fields I don’t need to use them as my biology is so high functioning and we are cycling nutrients. Altho, it won’t hurt - time is my biggest limiting factor so I’ll focus here vs. other fields.
Hope that makes sense! Thanks for asking the questions.
