Modern Day Tools For Vegetable Growers - Organic Solutions

https://www.tilmor.com/en-us Cameron Pederson owns a 50-acre farm with 20 acres being vegetable ground. They run a CSA and Farmers Market with about 12 growing acres of diversified vegetables. One of their biggest challenges like many small farms is weed control. Specifically mechanizing weed control on their land has been a source of discouragement.
Because of this, they have recently decided to start investing in mechanized weed control equipment. They purchased an Allis Chalmers G to pair with a Tilmor basket weeder and 3-point hitch tine weeder. The basket weeder implement allows for inter-row weeding without damaging the crop row which has been a game-changer for many farmers. While the Einbock tine weeder allows for uprooting and burying in the early stages of weed emergence.
Cameron believes Tilmor is changing the small grower space in an area that is truly lacking options by focusing on the small grower and providing where there is a need. Tilmor allows Cameron to simply enjoy farming and provides the tools he needs to focus his time in the fields instead of trying to be resourceful with equipment that is not readily available for weed control on the smaller scale.

Our farm is about 50 acres and on that, we have about 20 acres of vegetable ground. At an any given year we're growing actually about 12 acres of vegetables. We have a CSA and a farmers market and so we grow a wide diversity wide variety of vegetables to serve our customers. One of our biggest challenges has been weed control and actually mechanizing we control and so we made a decision to really start investing and mechanized weed control equipment. We bought an Allis Chalmers G and along with that bought a Tilmor Basket Weeder. Which has been a real game-changer for us. We also got a tine weeder, a three-point hitch tine weeder. Which has also been a really great tool. I think Tilmor is gonna change the small grower space simply by trying to focus on the small grower. I think they're really sort of moving into this the space that there really aren't that many other implements that can be belly mounted on a cultivating tractor or implements now that can go behind a Planet Junior or another walk-behind tractor. For me I know a lot of other farmers are really interested in sort of building their own equipment and tinkering and that's not me. I am not interested in taking the time to put together a cultivating implement, So Tilmor is basically allowing me to farm to be in the fields and not have to be an inventor.
