At this moment in the fall season, we have a lot of crops in the ground! While we're harvesting many of these crops, there are many more that are in the ground, but are not ready to be harvested... they've gotta grow up! Our job? Keep these plants that are in the ground, happy and healthy. This week at the farm, Scott captured this moment in the season. Scroll below and you'll see us working to give these crops both a weed and bug-free environment in which to mature.

Before we can plant any seeds in our transplant trays, we mix soil on this concrete pad, fill the trays, and stack them up. Who knows how many trays Giana, our greenhouse manager, has filled up? Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Army worms and cabbage loopers have made themselves at home in our beet greens. Temo, our head grower, is at war. Here he is topping the beets so he can get better coverage when he targets them with the spray arms. Don't worry, the greens will grow back quickly! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Why hello there! We're glad you joined!

We keep this tiny Case tractor around for the main tasks of tine-weeding. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

These metal tines can be set at distances to avoided the precisely planted crop. The tines disturb the first inch or so of soil, and uproot any tiny weed or grass seeds that have just germinated. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
