For the past 2 weeks Sustainable Agriculture students have been working hard in the classroom while rain delays them from enjoying the farm. It's officially winter season and students have many more rainy days to expect. Instead of waiting for the rain to end students have planted beans as a cover crop and concentrated on creating a project to instruct classmates on. This project is known as the One bed project. During this time we explain to our fellow classmates about how much we expected our yield to become and how much our actual yield was. Fortunately almost all beds had stable growth and expect to hit their goal as the school year comes to an end. At the same time students shared how they were able to obtain these yields through the intensive work they completed on the bed. Through their labor students were able to create fertile soil ready for planting. Finally the projects ended with what they were going to plant through the winter. Most of the crops were ones underground so rain would not affect its growth. Overall the farm has had great progress and continues to head towards the goals put out for them.--Matt B
