Mason Dixon Farms is a family run dairy operation. We are investing in the innovative robotic milking system (VMS)with Delaval. With our first of 4 phases, 10 robots installed, we are finally beginning our 2nd phase. This blog is soley devoted to keeping you updated with the happenings in the developments of phase 2
I'm related to small family farmers, and saw my grandparents give up on milk production when I was a child. My uncle still raises beef cattle and is in his late 60's or early 70's. I just read an article in The Lutheran about your farm, and seeing that you "bristle over criticism of mass-production agriculture" compelled me to make one comment. If all "mass-production agriculture" learns to do it responsibly and with respect for the land, as your farm appears to have done, I think we that are leery of large-scale livestock farming would be much less concerned. Kudos.
I was looking for a way to be in touch and couldn't find it. I am starting a small farm outside of Gettysburg and was wondering if you all had manure available. We are trying to find a good manure source to add nutrients to the land. I hope to hear from you. Thank you, Katie anamcaraharvest@gmail.com
