Field Notes On Roorda Van Zee Farms And Tomato Planting
On the Roorda farm the oat and alfalfa mix is thinning to foster a new stand while hogs from Durves lineage eye a strong market. Ed Van Zee shows good breeding, aims for winter farrowing, and markets pigs when pork demand rises. Nearby fields on Will Van Maanen’s and Pred Van Maanen’s properties host tomato planting with multiple youth helpers driving planters and a future pony colt anticipated by a nine year old resident.
