Looking for a kernel of yellow brightness on this gloomy, rainy Sunday morning? We’ve got you covered with our homegrown, farm fresh sweet corn! Our bicolour sweet corn is picked fresh daily and is now available at our farm stand. You can visit ‘At The Door” for pricing, our hours of operation and directions to the farm.

I captured this mama deer and her fawn when I was on a photo shoot in the back 40. I was taking photos of one of our potato fields that were showing an incredible display of flowers when the deer wandered through the field. You can visit the Animal Category of my Common-Tater blog to see many more videos and photos of the wildlife at our farm.
This year early summer is green and beautiful at the farm. So far everything is growing as expected due to timely rains and ideal temperatures. The potato plants are flowering, the corn is thriving and the soy beans are looking good. This video gives a great overview of the variety of crops we plant as part of our crop rotation and Integrated Pest Management Program. You can visit “The Common-Tater Gets Printed!” to learn more about crop rotation.
Join me as I hop into Curtis’ tractor for a trip to our local fertilizer plant. Curtis makes this trip many times every day when we’re planting our crops. Fertilizer is one of our most important crop inputs playing a vital role in boosting our crop yields. You can visit “Tractor Joy Riding” to see a video of what happened when I tagged along with John in the potato planter.
Here’s a quick peek at what we’ve been up to for the past few weeks. It’s been all about getting our crops in the ground while the weather holds. This is our potato planter going all out on a beautiful spring day. You can visit “Long Weekend Plans” to see another video of our planting equipment.
