Farms on the edge of wilderness experience wildlife challenges that are rare in broad-acre agriculture. Organic farms on the edge are extremely limited in the remedies that proprietors can use to eliminate or prevent wild competitors, and the challenge is growing because of climate uncertainty. Animals smell the water in our crops and follow their noses to kabocha and green beans. Killing wild creatures is futile. Outsmarting them is what makes us human. Learn how to create a production and marketing plan that allows you to farm your land and still grow choice edibles on the interior. We can farm more humanely with fore-thought and appropriate technology. With equipment and new strategies, peace of mind is possible.
