Jeremy Baker is your host for this interesting interview with berry farmer and Christmas Tree grower Don Sturm of Sturm’s Berry Farm. Don grows berries on flat ground and Christmas Trees on steeper ground. Making several passes with a tractor to prepare the hillsides for planting also left the soil bare and susceptible to erosion. Now he is planting into sod to protect his soil. Learn how he sprays around the trees, including a demonstration of an easy sprayer attachment. As Don talks, you’ll begin to realize he is using Integrated Pest Management methods throughout his operation. We thank Don for helping us with this video and applaud his work to conserve soil and protect water!
