Tours Highlight Farm Plan and Forestry Operartions Near Blanchard
A farm tour near Blanchard showcases a Johnson Forest Products plan to clear cut 148 acres of jack pine in six weeks using feller bunchers and a whole tree chipper. The operation ships chips to a cardboard plant and loads six semi trucks daily to rail cars, while landowner Keene resists outside pressure to restrict farming. Nearby forage expert Floyd Irish outlines pasture management for 35 to 40 cows on 25 acres with rotational grazing, annual fertilizer and gypsum applications, harrowing, and manure as key growth factors.
