Crop rotation

July 20· Test-driving this tillage implement on a field where we are rotating out dwarf cherries for a different crop next year. Crop rotation is a practice we have engaged in for many years, which benefits the soil.

Seeding sorghum-sudangrass

July 14· Seeding sorghum-sudangrass with our newly-acquired Great Plains grain drill. Incorporating the organic matter from this sorghum-sudangrass into the soil after it is grown is one of our many conservation practices here at Wickham’s Fruit Farm.
