Help Reclaim Farmland
In our valley, over 600 acres were once in active food production, and all of it has become overgrown.
The most efficient way to reclaim foodland is through forestry mulching. The mulcher, if large enough, and chip entire trees and mix the chip into the soil up to 2". When left to rest, the mulched brush and trees compost and we can then start re-establishing food production on this land.
Other crucial tools include brush mowers, plows, roto-tillers, and rock-pickers to prepare fields
