Cultivating the Back Forty

P9160010last year we took over the lease of forty acres adjoining the farm. We grew 75 tons of wheat on it. This fall we will be planting 8 acres of each of the following; Wheat, Triticale, Malting Barley, Winter peas and vegetables/vetch.
The field was deeply cultivated last week and leveled. We are now awaiting a GPS guided tractor to come and list up the beds for the crops.
the land has been owned by the Erwin Family in Dixon since the 1850's.
We do not own such serious farm toys like the one in the picture. It belongs to reals farmers Mark and Matt Cooley. Mark and Matt have a pumpkin patch every year... www.coolpatchpumpkins.com
