Crop Production
Precision agriculture (PA) or site specific crop management (SSCM) is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. By utilizing PA, we are able to reduce the misapplication of products and increase crop and farm efficiency.
We harvested 3 acres in 2017 and increased to 13 acres of organic Acorn and Butternut Squash in August 2018.
Irrigation Construction
Water conservation is a high priority. Watering at the right time of day and for the correct amount of time greatly reduces water waste.
We use agricultural film (mulch) and drip irrigation to reduce our water consumption. We also prepare a blend of both dry and liquid fertilizers for each specific field ensuring that every plant get the nutrients they require throughout their life.
Tillage & Pest Management
We use zero herbicides and we only use OMRI listed inputs to keep our organic designation intact.
Weeds are all handled the old fashioned way, with a hoe and shovel.
We use beneficial insects and biologicals plus OMRI listed foliar feedings to keep our crops disease free and healthy, providing some of the best yields per acre in the industry.
