New tool alert!
As seen in Thiessen Tillage Equipment 's earlier post, we've been running some new cultivating equipment this year. Basket w**ders and finger w**ders from Power Ox on a tractor mounted steerable cultivator on a 30" bed top set up, with 3 rows of crops.
And while the spacing is tight and the learning curve has been high and we don't have all the kinks worked out yet - we DO want to say we've come a long way since this spring, and we've done a lot less handw**ding and carrot hoeing this year - so yay! Plus it's been fun (if at times a bit stressful) to learn!
Will it be the ultimate/best tool for us in the end? Time will tell. Nothing comes without tradeoffs, and nothing means farming isn't going to remain a lot of hard work, but we like to keep growing, evolving, and trying new things around here!
Thanks a million to Budgie and Kerry from Laughing Crow Organics for their support, expertise, and that most precious resource - time - in helping us set this up and learn.
On the tractor in the photos and videos is the incredible Lucie, driving straight as an arrow ➡️, and on the cultivator is me, Ariella, trying to keep all the baby carrots alive, and kill all the w**ds!
