The crop of oats planted earlier this month has shown itself.
Oats are part of a traditional crop rotation practiced at Howell Farm that's easy to remember: COWS. Corn is followed by oats, followed by wheat, followed by sod, meaning the field is left to fallow for a year. This rotation, accompanied by frequent applications of manure, help keep the fields fertile year after year.
