Well according to my wife with a degree in sustainable farming it means that you try to put manure on your fields, minumum amouts of chimicals like herbcides and such. To sustain the land for the next generation so to speak.

Of the students she graduated with most are wild eyed fanatics that may as well be organic, with beads and bandana's and owrking thier garden with a hoe.

We do raise grass fed beef, pasture raise feeder pigs, chickens, not free range (to many preditiors around for that) but they have a large outdoor run. I'm working at having 8-10 cow calf units, another 8-10 feeders/finishers. About 40 pigs started as feeders to butcher, chickens for meat and eggs and a road side stand for veggies. WE are selling for around market values but instead of the middle man and store getting a cut we get it all. I have retirement income and she has a job in town so all we are looking to do is make a little profit. Side benny is food for our table.

WIth 60 tillable acres I'm not going to make any money trying to conventional farm it so this at least gives me an excuse to buy toys!

2 8N's, M and 1206 Farmall and a back hoe.....more toys to come! Combine and mixer grinder are next!

Rick

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
