Mucking About in the Manure

Spring has finally sprung here in southern Ontario after a cool start to April. This means it’s time to dust off the farming equipment and get back to the fields. The first task at hand in the spring is field preparation. That means manure. Loads and loads and loads of manure!  Manure is a vital part of our sustainable farming practices here at Thompson Potato Farm.  It replenishes nutrients that last year’s crop may have depleted therefore helping us look after our land. This video shows the manure spreader in action. Note the very bumpy ride the tractor driver needs to endure. Be sure to visit our photo gallery for additional pictures.
