Fall chores here at the farm don’t exactly mean raking the leaves and cutting back the gardens. We work at preparing our land for next year in many different ways. One of the essential jobs that needs to be accomplished is spreading manure to replenish our soil nutrients. This key job needs to be done in the fall so we can meet food safety guidelines.
It’s a stinky job, but someone has to do it. And this means Curtis! He works at spreading the manure in between delivering potatoes to restaurants and running our corn to the grain elevators. It’ll all be worth it next year when the potato yield is high due to the fertile seed bed the seed potatoes were planted in. You can visit “Racing Old Man Winter” and “Fall Field Chores” to learn more about different fall chores we work at here at the farm.
