 There are several areas of the Farm where fields are planted with crops on a rotating basis. On the self-guided tour, location #19 is the South Crop Fields. This 18-acre area was probably plowed as one or two fields, rather than as it is now plowed: six, 3-acre fields. Our layout makes it easy for visitors to see the crops which make up the rotation commonly used in the area: Corn, oats, wheat, clover hay and timothy hay. Due to present-day conditions and needs, we often plant spelts or rye in place of oats. |
