Damn Turkey!
Lately, turkeys are coming to visit our tea fields every day. Not just visiting our farm, but I see them all the time, almost it appears that they decided to permanently squatting on our farm. We recently put down fall / winter season cover crop after all the laborious maintenance, and as soon as the cover crops germinated, something is chowing on them. For a long time, I thought it was some insect pests or cutworm. Over time we selected resilient cover crops and even ones that birds don't care so much. Also, they must establish well, and once established they recover easily and easy to manage. Yes, we had it for the last few seasons, but somewhere along their path, they seem to have changed their diet and preference for foraging and behavior pattern. or maybe foods are scarce with economic recession and all. Perhaps they are just pulling them out to get to my nerves. Whatever the reason is, it is really working to affect my mental calmness so I tried various things. T
