Buffalo Ridge Prairie
Buffalo Ridge is a 20 acre field, on top of one of the hills that runs north/south down the center of our land. The field was planted in soybeans in 2003, then in 2004 the farmer had planned to plant it in corn. I don't like to plant into corn stubble, so that year we asked the farmer not to plant, and Mike mowed it frequently all summer. In the fall, we had the farmer spray it with glyphosate, and that winter - the winter of 2004/2005 - I planted prairie seeds.
