RE: Adventures of a 100% vegan grown farm- August 6th 2017
Wow, interesting. We've been having it tough in Ontario, Canada too. More rain than I've ever seen this time of year, and abnormally cold temperatures. Luckily the farmers in my area for the most part have drainage which helps with that. I'm curious if any of your difficulties are due to the fact that you are a 100% vegan grown farm, or if it's mainly just do to the unusual weather conditions?
Hi, thanks for your question. The difficulty this year is definitly the amount of rain. My neighbors farm is not vegan grown, and he is having the same issues. The only difference is we do not add any animal compost. We get our green fertilizer from clover and rye, at the beginning and at the end of the season, and its just as nutrient dense, if not more. The only crops that seem to be doing well this year is corn, but they seem to be smaller than usual. Nature will be nature. :-)
Okay, thanks for your reply. Yes, I've noticed that about our surrounding corn fields out here :)
