Whats Happen at Country Taste Farm

After  completing  a trust system in High Tunnel #2; we have started on High tunnel #1, we are removing the wood support trellis. The wood may hold some diseases and it is in the way for some mechanical tillage. The new trust system allows about 24” more head space, high tensile wire is used to hook the support string which allows adjustable plant spacing in the row. When High tunnel #1 is complete we will have removed all of the wood trellis in all of our 4 high tunnels.

 I have purchased a 504 International Tractor it is smaller than the 560 we now have, this will fit down the rows better in the Orchard.
