1 tell him i bought land
2 165' from south stakes, agreed?
3 last few years did you farm? what?
4 going for organic certification
5 spraying? maybe just a ditch divide
Don farms cattle and made a verbal agreement of five years to farm 4991 as hay for his setup: angus, herfer, crosses. I met my first 4991 farmer!!
Spring - april is earlier you can work with soil... he was trying to convince me to not work the land till he could harvest the hay
in may he would cuts the hay, the land is plenty dry
10-15 years that land had not been plowed. He plowed the whole section 8 to 12" deep!
He has never used fertilizer, and would use manure if he did (HOLY... see if you can stay on his good side and pay him to fertilize?)
He sewed a pasture hay mix this past year
Small diversified is challenging, small profits...
