Thank you

[@KimberlyKling]

Thanks! This is amazing!! I'm curious how you keep the oats weeded? I couldn't do this because I had so much bermuda grass and other wild plants coming up inside my oats.

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Psalm 104:1 KJV He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; Psalm 104:14 KJV But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18 KJV

Thank you! Very educative. I have been trying to find the harvest bag you are using, because I find it extremely practical, but with no success, can you tell me where to buy it?

[@brendalynblanco]

Thank you! 🙏. Do you sell seeds for planting?

[@collageofhealth4897]

I am curious about the name of the tool to harvest the straw? Anyone know? Thank you
