The newest member to the Dea Dia family


We just bought our first tractor, a 1965 IH 140! Yes, it's yellow... I know it is supposed to be red. It was originally used as a highway department tractor to mow along the sides of roads.

Along with the tractor we got a basket weeder, a double cultivating tool bar with knifes and sweeps, and a set of Planet Jr. seeders. We will be using it to direct seed crops, cultivate and stale seed bed before planting.

This was all made possible through a grant from the Frontera Farmer Foundation.
