Fruits of Ingenuity: No-Till

We are now beginning to see some reward for our experimentation with No-Till farming on the hard squash fields. For a while it looked as if the learning curve may have bettered us, but, as always, Uncle Drew prevailed through his knowledge of the soil and the nuances of crop necessity. Now the field is beginning to brim with the vibrant yellow flowers that represent a harbinger of incoming squash. In some of the plants young butternut squash is beginning to take form underneath the canopy of yellow overhead.
