Plants are amazing! They use the process of photosynthesis to combine the suns energy with carbon dioxide to produce carbon-based sugars to feed themselves and the soil.
So as farmers, a lot of what we’re harvesting is solar energy. So in keeping with that theme, last year we partnered with the USDA via a REAP grant to put solar panels on our barns, so that all the energy to run our farm also comes from the sun.
And today we followed that thread one step further with the purchase of an electric tractor from This style tractor allows us better visibility of our crops while cultivating, while also being nearly silent and exhaust free, which is a pleasant change! Still adjusting cultivators to find the right setup, so this is just a quick glimpse of its maiden voyage!
