In some areas the wheat looks fabulous, in other areas, it is a bit weedy. This year the BIGGEST weed problems have been Canada Thistle, wild oats and some volunteer alfalfa.  Most other little weeds were, for the most part, eliminated by the harrowing in July.  The Plan to eradicate these pests is to work the ground after harvest is complete and spray apply GSR Dormant Calcium and softrock phosphate (both available from Back To Your Roots Soil Solutions Inc).

    About

    Rusk Ranch is located near the middle of Canada in the Swan River Valley agricultural belt.  The acreage is surrounded by conventional chemical farms.  It is hoped that this adventure will de-risk other farms towards environmentally sound farming practices that produce healthy nutrient dense corps!
