Just something about making hay with an open cab tractor! It’s perfect hay making weather and there is no better way to spend a Saturday in May.
This Case IH 1066 has been on the farm for generations and is a staple in our operation. The modern ones have their perks, but farming old school is okay too!

Grateful to have the opportunity to share our feed with a great business and event!

After a few days of rainy weather we were able to get back into the fields. 🚜Josh was working on planting some Non-GMO Corn into crimson clover this morning.

We plant crimson clover as a cover crop before corn because it fixates atmospheric nitrogen and stores it in the plant tissue. Once the clover begins to wilt it releases the nitrogen into the soil for the corn plant to use.🌽

This helps retain the vitality of the land we farm to make quality feed! 🐥

Earth day isn’t just a post for us, it’s what we do every day. We practice regenerative farming practices such as:

🌻Cover cropping
🚜No-till planting
🌽Diverse crop rotations

Through these practices we’re:

✅Improving soil health
✅ Supporting sustainable livestock production
✅Reducing environmental impact

We believe in taking care of the land so it can continue to provide for us and allow us to continue doing what we love!

Feed local and show local! County fair projects are about to begin so why not feed your livestock the best? We offer a Non-GMO Show Pig Feed that is milled with grains grown here in Clear Spring, Maryland on our family farm. We only want the highest quality for our customers which is why our feed is not made from byproducts like big company brands.

This is a blend of ground Non-GMO grains combined to make the perfect show pig feed. This 18% protein mix is fortified with species specific minerals, vitamins, prebiotics, whey, and additional amino acids.

It is $22.25/50lbs picked up at our farm. We offer $2/bag discount on full pallet purchases and 2.5% discount for cash/check payment. Shipping options available.

This is a feed from our roots! Making feed for our own pigs is how we eventually got into the bagged animal feed business.

We have been taking some time to clean up the limestone rock breaks in our fields thanks to the help of Hard Rock Excavating. Rocks are a crop farmer’s enemy and here in Washington County, MD, we have plenty of them! The rocks damage our equipment, especially combine grain heads. They also create places for weeds to thrive since the cash crop cannot do well in those areas. With Non-GMO grains, this is especially challenging as we do not have the tools to fight weeds that other farmers may have. Removing the rocks is costly, but slowly we are getting the fields cleaned up. We see it as an investment in the field for years to come!

In case you were wondering, this is our current thought process. Warm weather is on the horizon and we are getting ready for spring!
