Most farmers want to leave the farm to the next generation in better shape. But what does 'better' refer to?
Have you ever heard a farmer brag they’re determined to leave the farm worse than they found it? I haven’t either.
Most farmers want to leave the farm to the next generation in better shape. But what does “better” refer to? Freshly painted buildings? New fences (or no fences)? Improving crop yields?
I hope that “better” also refers to your soil. Is the organic matter content increasing? Is the soil getting darker deeper in the profile?
