Organic Farm Potential
Over the past several years, the owners have been moving towards a low input, regenerative farming model. Here is the recent history:
-All hay and pasture ground has been farmed without herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers (they used compost or manure) for at least 3 years (depending on field).
-There was no plowing in the past 8 years, they have been moving towards minimizing tillage, with some tillage on corn ground (2016 through 2022). On corn ground (most recently pivots 6, 8, 10) they have used only one 32oz application of glyphosate. The only fungicide and insecticide used is on seed treatment. They ran minimal nitrogen through the pivots—the last of which was pivots 8 & 10 in 2022 (30-50 lbs/acre).
-They also spread compost for fertility. The last two years they have inter-seeded all corn acres with a diverse cover crop at v4-v5.
-On several different pivots, they have rotated with a diverse cover crop mix (usually no till), and then grazed.
-On all pivot acres they have applied Biostimulant, Harvest Energy and Fulvic Electrolyte from Enviroconsultant Services, in order to build and maintain microbiology in the soil and reduce the need for fertilizer.
-The livestock water and fence infrastructure has been built to improve grazing management to build soil and be more efficient economic grazers as well as implementing intensive management grazing, also using instinctive migratory grazing.
-All acres have livestock integration at some point, ie; grazing corn stalks, grazing 3rd and 4th cut hay.
-On old alfalfa stands, perennial grasses have been no-till drilled in to extend the life of the stand and get a more valuable product. They did this with the goal of grazing more and haying less.
