These days organic farming seem to be on the minds of many. When I lead classes I sometimes ask them if they think that 1920's farmers were organic in their practices. Most of the time the line of thought is that organic farming is a new idea so of course in the old times they would not have known a thing about it. It then gives me a little bit of delight to draw the circle of life story and how 1920's farmers, and for that matter most all farmers prior to the green revolution were solely organic.
With the break in the weather Jeff and Beth have been busy hauling manure to the fields. The spreader that they are using is new to us and really neat. It was built new last year and uses almost 100 year old technology. Thank goodness for the Amish!
