“Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

Our beautiful, rich black topsoil cannot be replaced. We are not anti-tillage and definitely believe tillage has its place, but with the amount of soil blowing off fields in the last few years, something has to change. Cover crops and minimal tillage, such as strip-till, allow the soil to remain intact, let it rest, and give back to the soil.

This land is full of the Lord’s beauty and design, and we feel so privileged to be caretakers of it. It is time for the agriculture world to stop being such a commercialized production line. It’s time to move back toward being true stewards of the land and giving our soil everything it needs to be full of life!

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

If Jesus comes to bring life to our mortal bodies why would we as sons and daughters not give life to the people around us and also to the creation!
