We got a dry window of weather here in the Willamette Valley, so we took advantage. It may have looked more like a bunch of chickens with their heads cutoff, running around spraying, mouse baiting, fertilizing and planting, but we had a great few days and got a ton done! Here are some photos of no till spring wheat planting into a perennial ryegrass field.
As you can see this field looks pretty dead, mostly it’s because it was eaten alive by slugs all winter. Hence why our seed mix includes slug bait, so when those hungry guys come back hopefully they won’t eat our crop!
And as we were quickly reminded, even when the weather is nice…it really isn’t spring in Oregon until you get stuck in the mud!
Thanks to our neighbors, Pearmine Farms for planting for us!
