About Me

Diversifying our crops

Our farm has been in this family for 80 years and we've been farming wheat all this time. There are a lot of risks with farming only one crop, and I'm looking to try and create a better mix of income streams. I don't want to be at the mercy of the weather as I can't control it.

This blog is all about choosing crops that suit different weather conditions and finding ways to have better crop rotation.
