Okay that makes sense but it's been cropland for a few years as it is now and the combine hasn't had any issue harvesting -- nor has my bushhog (tractor mower) had any issues mowing bits that I've wanted to mow.
I was reading that planting pasture on Soybean stubble is fine to go ahead and...
It's not that bad or bumpy though -- my neighbor who has 300 acres right next to me for his Angus cattle uses the fields that abut my property for haying and it's basically the same gentle roll of ground as mine.
It isn't perfect -- it's just been growing corn and soybeans for about 4 years...
Some background for you guys -- also, please ask me anything if I do not give all the needed information -- I am SO new at this, just starting out.
I have 24 acres (In Piedmont of North Carolina) in total, but 8 is wooded, a few are road frontage and a couple have my house and outbuildings on...
Yes I am in 7b and yes, there are farmer's markets all over where I live in North Carolina - it is a farming state.
Thank you for the tip on Joel Salatin - I appreciate it and will look into it!
I have seen that documentary -- that is in California, *very* different than here in North...
Yeah, what the people here in the US and call it "homesteading" isn't my plan at all. This isn't my backyard. It's cultivated farmland.
I own a gun -- but what does that have to do with anything regarding farming?
Good afternoon everyone!
I am an American with strong ties to Britain - but will be farming over here in the US. I am brand new to it all, I am not from farming stock - just a blue collar, working class family. I own 24 acres (8 of which is wooded and I plan to keep that way) and I want to...
I don't know why you poo poo'd the idea that it was the way we used to farm pre industrial revolution, because it was. Just this and what you have been describing in the last few posts.
Maybe people get defensive about that, too. That they feel like it is 'going backwards' and 'yields weren't...
I'm in America --that last sentence is absolutely true where I live. Non-Farmers' eyes glaze over the second you get into any detail relating to farming. They don't care and do not want to know details.
Not sure why you're so aggressive with your tone, 'yawning' and what not. It isn't really...
I think the term regenerative is just a buzzword for the political non-farming types to understand something they fundamentally do not understand. Easier to say than "mixed traditional farming" which always gets people with a screwed up expression on their face and asking questions what that...
Hello! I am a brand new farmer in my mid-life, own 24 acres in North Carolina - and am looking to start a mixed rotational farm. I have some contacts with NC State's small farm unit and a farmer who leased the land I bought and farmed on it for the past four years, but I have a lot to learn, I...
