  • College is a place to learn! What a bad lesson some college's give!

    I was very sad to learn that one of our forum members has felt pressured to remove their blog from this site.

  • Norfolk Four Course Rotation (1950's at college)

    All the young farm college students will laugh me off this page, because there does not seem to be such a thing as a full rotation these days. It seems a rotation for pests and diseases, and that's all. What you young un's must understand that there is a rotation to cope with weeds , mostly annual...
