| | Strength of USD$ Dollar compounds Plow purchase value! Posted by rapurdy on Thursday, September 04, 2008 - 07:41 AM
| |
|  Date September 04, 2008. (UPDATED OCTOBER 07, 2008!) Everyone likes Good News! As reported to interested folks in an earlier post, the Yeomans Plow factory personnel in Australia have informed us that as a result of world wide steel prices - the list price of Yeomans Brand Keyline Plow products have unavoidably increased substantially; however, a new buying opportunity is currently presenting itself as the U.S. Dollar (USD$) has regained strength in value against the Australian Dollar (AUD$) by several percentage points since mid July and is currently gaining daily. This means your USD$ currently purchases more plow for the buck!
The old 2006 Yeomans Plow catalog pricing is history, ..but world wide currency exchange events make ordering and purchasing a Yeomans Plow ..right now... an outstanding opportunity.
If you have questions, as ever we encourage you to CALL US NOW at 315-986-7007; we will be glad to help you with the decision making and ordering process.
Good luck.
Be safe. Sincerely,

| NEWS FLASH !! PRICE INCREASE EFFECTIVE IN TWO WEEKS! Posted by rapurdy on Sunday, July 06, 2008 - 08:25 PM
| |
|  Just as we surmised to interested folks some time ago, the Yeomans Plow factory personnel in Australia have just informed us that as a result of world wide steel prices - the price list of Yeomans Brand Keyline Plow products will increase in a few weeks time. This is coupled with the current ever increasingly weak USD$, as of this writing; currently (1) One Australian Dollar (AUD$) = 0.96294 USD$
This is of coarse unavoidable and quite expected, as we have been working from the 2006 price catalog for a number of years; ..however the good news is you still have time to order equipment before the price increase IF you react soon;.. you have only two weeks to finalize the ordering however!
If you have questions, as ever we encourage you to read the information on our website and then CALL US NOW at 315-986-7007; we will be glad to help you with the decision making and ordering process.
Be safe. Sincerely,

| Yeomans Keyline Plow Ordering - Shipping Posted by rapurdy on Friday, December 28, 2007 - 02:01 AM
| |
| We promised to post some reoccurring - similar theme items and updates to this website regarding questions clients are having when ordering of their Yeoman's Keyline plows, etc..
Shanks and spare perishable members such as Wombat Points, Splitter blades, etc. will be in stock (firstly to plow customers); ..these are due to be shipped with the first shipping container of plows arriving to New York State. All prior whole plow deliveries are already scheduled to be going directly to plow customers.
We expect that for sometime, some supplies may become limited or erratic in availability as all spares will go first to plow owners, restocking and then to parties from whom we have received prior valid purchase orders. If you are certain you will be requiring plow shanks this coming season, we will need a valid written purchase order in hand before ordering for you, this will help guaranty you access to your desired items. We will announce to declared interested folks when these events and probable cut-off dates are most likely to occur. Please let us know if you would welcome further notices and updates.
Please be aware, early-bird ordering will be closing very soon; additionally, the Yeomans Plow, factory, AU., has again advised when ordering of co-mingled plow types and articles, to allow sufficient lead time(s) for events to occur. Fabrication, Ocean freight, scheduling and logistic requirements; Set up; etc....pretty soon it's going to be Labor Day 2008, ready to plow.. ready or not.
As of this post, we do have some odd Yeoman's fixture parts and one or two after market - retro-fit plow frames in stock. These frames are used articles, third party brand plows (10' and 11' foot) ready for necessary modifications and conversion. Both have depth control solutions on suitable plow frames intended for large tractors in the 100 - 140+ HP range.
Lastly, Clear Choice (c) - Elysian (c) - We have posted some very new Pasture Services topic links within the left margin of this web-page with links to our Yeoman's Keyline Plow "Red Book" and others, please check them out. We have temporally installed also a web-blog link instead of the older discussion board of years past as the later presented some spam challenges. All past Innovative Pasture Discussions have been archived for later use.
Again, we are extremely busy as most of you are as well. Please drop us a note back and let us know if you have any questions.
Be safe. Sincerely,
Royal A. Purdy

| Keylined Pasture Soils Hidden Value - Carbon Sequestration Posted by rapurdy on Friday, December 14, 2007 - 07:31 PM
| |
| The Solution That Offers Immediate Impact On Global Warming
THE PROBLEM: An increase in measurable carbon dioxide levels in the air, contributing to global warming.
THE SIMPLE SOLUTION: Put the carbon back in the earth where it belongs. Degraded soils can store up to 5 times more organic carbon in their surface layers than they currently hold if the soil management approach changes. Through the application of these types of management methods, (including among others - Keyline Plowing) Pasture Soil Carbon can make a significant impact on global warming.
THE NATURAL SOLUTION: Carbon is naturally sequestered in topsoil via biological processes surrounding actively growing roots of pasture grasses and cereals. Encouraging these processes is cheap, efficient, and ecologically beneficial.
THE ACHIEVABLE SOLUTION: Soil carbon levels can be increased by adopting forms of carbon farming, including time-controlled grazing management, pasture Ley cropping and biologically beneficial farming practices such as Keyline Plowing and Absorption Fertility.
Here is a link to a very fine PDF download file concerning and explaining the numbers. Cut and paste it into your browser.

| Keyline Design: Water and New Topsoil for Every Farm
October 29 and 30, 2007
Instructed by Darren Doherty, Principal of Australia Felix and accomplished Keyline landscape designer.
Location: Cimarron Farm, St. Albans, Vermont. This farm is currently building a Keyline Flood Flow irrigation system, so course theory will be backed up by on-the-land examples.
This two day workshop with will cover the basics of Keyline farm design and Keyline topsoil formation. In practice around the world for over fifty years, the Keyline Plan is farm and city design based on the water shapes of the land. The Keyline Plan enables fast flood irrigation of flat and hilly land. Keyline topsoil formation involves using a subsoiler plow on pasture land in combination with planned grazing and irrigation or rainfall to rapidly convert subsoil to topsoil. Theory and practical subsoiling and landscape construction will be covered.
Cost: $250. Lunches, refreshments and educational materials will be provided. Free to member Carbon Farmers of America.
Pre-registration and deposit are required. To register, or for more information, please contact Abe Collins at (802) 527-2913 or abe@carbonfarmersofamerica.com

| A Pasture Walk with Darren Doherty Posted by rapurdy on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 - 06:13 AM

| A Pasture Walk with Darren Doherty
Folks,
Elysian ©, Sustainable High Tensile - A. H. Tuttle and Company is hosting a Pasture Walk highlighting “Keyline” contoured landscaping and absorption fertility. Abe Collins gave me the heads up about Keyline concepts as it relates to pasture response beginning in 2005.
In June of this year I attended a 6-day long Keyline Design seminar by lecturer Darren Doherty from Australia on a world tour. He is returning this fall September 14th – 16th to the Finger Lakes area to give a Pasture Walk discussion in Bloomfield, NY. and a condensed two-day Keyline seminar in Canandaigua NY. entitled “Keyline Design & Practices” with Darren Doherty”, and lectures will be at the Community College of the Finger Lakes campus lecture hall, as he travels back across the U.S.
I intended to get Abe Collins here too for the three day event, as he is having Darren lecture in late October in Vermont on the same topic, but Abe has indicated he is unable to attend.
The one and two-day events will start Friday, September 14th at 11:30am with the Pasture Walk in Bloomfield at the Oliver and Andrea Scott’s Buffalo and Scottish Highlander Grazing Farm involving an afternoon Pasture Walk. Said pasture walk would precede the lecture by one day and derive two separate groups of interest; one to attend the Pasture Walk only and the others being able to attend both the Pasture Walk and the weekend lecture with fee of $250.00; of coarse we invite all, if at all possible, to attend both!
We will have a functional genuine Yeomans shank plow at the pasture walk. The walk to be held at the grazing farm of Oliver and Andrea Scott, Wild Side Ranch LLC, 8675 Taft Road, Bloomfield, NY. 14469; (15 miles West of Canandaigua and 9 miles East of Rt 390 and Rt 5+20 intersection, and One mile South of State Rt. 5 & 20 on Conn Road (one mile) to Taft; watch for signs) The draw of interest will be the Keyline Demo on sod at a large Bison - Buffalo and Scottish Highlander herd operation with a New York State inspected meat plant on the farm.
The 2-day College venue has a full elevated lecture hall, audio visual for the available YouTube digital videos (Google search “Yeomans Keyline Plow” video), etc. Paid food and lodging are close by. We intend also to have a limited number of scholarships cover some attendees $250.00 fee’s with most meals (other than three lunches) and all lodging on their own at this stage of the planning.
Be safe. Sincerely
