The crops are busy growing in the field and the farmers are busy with mid-summer activities. It is the time of year farmers are finishing spring clean up and working on fall prep.

It was a busy day at the Follow Farming field. Local farmer, Mike Smith, tilled the ground preparing it for soybean planting. Watch the videos below for:
- An introduction about Field Tillage — What the farmer does and why they work the ground up.
- Watch the tractor at work — See how the tractor moves, turns, and makes a little dust.
- Notice the difference between Non-tilled vs. Tilled ground — Look up close how the dirt and weeds are different.
- Check out the tractor — Hear a quick explanation of the tractor, cultivator, and clumbler.
