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

Harvesting soft white winter wheat
This week we started harvesting the soft white winter wheat, yamhill variety. We have approximately 140 acres of it this year. Most of it was planted in October and November, but one field got planted in mid-December, and is looking much weaker as a result. The yield in the fields close to our buildings have been very good so far. It has been a bit stop-and-go while we wait for the moisture content to get down to around 12-12.5 percent. This usually means we can't start combining until about 1-2 pm.
