This blog is designed to share our experiences as our family works to transition our 800 acre farm from a conventional chemical-using farm to a sustainable organic farm. We are located near Corvallis, Oregon, in the heart of the Willamette Valley. -Clinton Lindsey

Pinto bean progress
The pinto beans are doing even worse than the yelloweye beans, unfortunately. They are almost all very tiny, and have slug damage as well. We are not sure we will be able to take a crop of pinto beans off the field at all. Again, the late planting, lack of water, and low pH are all negatively affecting the beans. The weeds are a problem. Yet another case for acquiring a tine cultivator for next season.
