The first time I’ve seen the sun in a week. Praying for people who lost everything and the firefighters trying to stop the forest fires. It is very smoky and we’re looking for clear skies and normal life. #AgChat #CoverCrops #Ryegrass

Mice and voles were a huge problem for seed harvest this year! My last field to combine for this year.
Hoping for a hard winter to rid us of the rest of his buddies! #CoverCrop #AgChat #Ryegrass #Harvest20

Combining white clover in Oregon. 2.3 mph on a 16’ windrow. This is sold for Forage and wildlife plots. After two more years will plant back into grass seed production . #AgChat #CoverCrop #KnowYourProducer #Ryegrass

@TomWell1954 Thanks again for the help!

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

It’s a long story....
But this is a dust mask/ head covering. This is a necessity (while setting the combine) when you have to keep your head clean because of 12 staple you just had removed this morning! #BeSafe #Ryegrass #AgChat #CoverCrop #Harvest20

@bigdogmills That’s funny

Combining #meadowfoam in #Oregon.This Is a broadleaf plant that we grow for the seed, to be crushed for the oil. The oil is used in cosmetics. #harvest20 #AgChat #CoverCrops #Ryegrass

@strip_till_john Gotta love Ronnie! The tractor is nice too.

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

@RobGalyen No, we can spread it out pretty well with the rotary head.

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

Clipping white clover field (for seed production )to make a more even stand and control weeds. #bees #CoverCrops #AgChat #Ryegrass

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

@RobGalyen I have considered making silage out of it. But at this point the fields are soft enough that driving lots of equipment across it would rut the field up too bad.

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

My meadowfoam field on a cool sunny morning in Oregon. This about 80% bloom, 100% later today. The #bees will be working today with temps in the mid 70s. #Harvest20 will be here in about 40 days. I will plant #ryegrass here next year for seed production. #AgChat #CoverCrops

As the world celebrates #EarthDay, 90% of grass seed produced in OR is exported around the US and the world. Grass makes #Forage for livestock, land cover to stop erosion and #recycle nutrients, produces Oxygen while storing carbon. Every day is Earth Day on Our Farm! #AgChat

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

As #EarthDay approaches, did you know a 5’ x 5’ area of grass produces enough oxygen for one person to breath for 1 year! #CoverCrops #AgChat #Ryegrass

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

As #EarthDay approaches this week, the world needs to understand how agriculture and the American farmer are contributing to a healthy planet. Creating oxygen, storing carbon and growing food make everyone’s life better! #AgChat #CoverCrop #Ryegrass

@ArtSchultheis Putting on 130-15-30/ ac. Planted with about 17 lbs of N last fall

[KB Seed Nick Bowers @kb_seed]

Because of the health situation that we are all in now. I have self isolated myself to the fertilizer spreader. Putting on our spring nitrogen on KB annual #ryegrass. #KnowYourProducer #AgChat #CoverCrop
