Though modern farming is important so is understanding the "old ways" of farming as well. It is the foundation of everything we have today. I hope to have enough land one day to do a small scale regenerative "farm". Archive: https://archive.today/A22ro From the post: >>The first weekend in October is always the annual Harvest and Husking Bee at Tsyunhéhkw∧ Farm. Located just outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin on part of the Oneida Nation, Tsyunhéhkw∧ (joon-HEY’-kwa) is a tribally owned, organic, regenerative farm that focuses on growing Oneida white corn. The farm plants about 10 acres annually, which produces around 8,000 pounds of finished corn. Oneida white corn–also known as Iroquois or Tuscarora white corn–looks a little different than its modern counterparts. This heirloom variety has pearlescent, pale butter-colored kernels and ears can grow as long as a forearm. Stalks can grow 18 feet high and 4 inches in diameter. Modern hybrids have more uniform stalk and corn cob sizes. There is no modern machinery that can harvest an 18-foot-tall stalk of corn. So instead, farmers must rely on much older methods: The entire crop must be harvested and processed by hand.
