One Pass Hilling! One of my favorite potato farming activities. Around two weeks after planting and just as the potato plant breaks the surface of the soil we go in with our hilling equipment and bury the plant with a fresh coating of top soil. This hilling practice creates the perfect house that will protect our crop as they grow throughout the summer season. The hill has been engineered to maximize the space allowable for tuber development - it creates enough room for high yielding varieties to grow within the hill and not grow outside it, which would cause non marketable sunburn on a potato - we want to avoid this! It is a necessary practice, but at the same time it rejuvenates the farm and gives our land a fresh clean look - a simply beautiful sight to watch. In todays section of land we had 4 one pass cultivators operating - we can cover a lot of land per day utilizing these many units. Also for experimenting and knowledge we try different brands - 3 out of 4 videod here are not from the same manufacturer. It is important to support all our dealers and check out new innovation. All have performed very well - no regrets on any purchase. Enjoy the attached video - it’s a great time to be on the farm, we are off to a great start this year.

Crop diversification is the practice of growing a variety of crops on a farm. This can help to reduce risk, improve soil health, and increase profits. There are many different ways to diversify crops, but some common methods include: 💡  Growing a variety of crops in the same field. This can help to reduce the risk of crop failure if one crop is affected by pests, diseases, or weather conditions. 💡  Rotating crops from year to year. This helps to keep the soil healthy and prevents the build-up of pests and diseases. 💡 Growing high-value crops (In PNG's context 1. Cocoa, 2.Coconut, 3.Oil Palm, 4.Coffee, 5.Balsa, 5.Vanilla etc.). These crops can fetch a higher price on the market, which can help to increase profits. 💡 Integrating livestock (1. poultry, 2. Piggery 3. Fish farming etc.) and crops. This can help to improve soil health and provide additional income from livestock products. As agricultural commodity prices for certain crops are showing positive signs economically, let us not forget the basic principle that we as farmers are "Price Takers" . Therefore, it is a financial strategy to advocate our farmers to align their farming endeavor's with market trends in the sector. #Agriculturalist #marketaccess #farmer #agriculturescience image source: https://lnkd.in/gC5sf7KF

Ever wonder how the EAA supports local farmers? Come out west with us to meet the agriculture producers who turn their acres of land into bountifully rooted farms. The “Agriculture Out West” series in our latest NewsDrop magazine features some of the crops that are raised in these communities and the people responsible for continuing the legacy of their agribusinesses. Our region has a rich history in farming and agriculture production with almost 50% of Edwards Aquifer permits to withdraw water from the Edwards Aquifer involved in agriculture irrigation. For generations these crops have continued to provide a way of life for these families, sustenance for our communities, and commodities for various industries. As part of this series we feature fifth generation farmer, Cole Yanta’s story. When we visited, his farm was in the process of beginning hay sprigging to grow coastal bermudagrass. This crop is a popular grass variety used to make hay bales, which are eventually purchased by farmers and ranchers to feed their horses, sheep, goats, and cattle due to its high fiber content. It is a perennial crop, meaning it only needs to be planted once and will continue to grow when properly cared for. The hay grass is allowed to grow for approximately one month and then is cut and allowed to dry. Once dry, it will be baled and shipped to feed stores in the San Antonio area and Hill Country.
