  • Farming with Walk-Behind Tractors at Kerr Center’S Cannon Horticulture Project
    Farming with Walk-Behind Tractors at Kerr Center’s Cannon Horticulture Project by GEORGE KUEPPER Horticulture Program Manager-Retired KERR CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, POTEAU, OKLAHOMA • 2018 Farming with Walk-Behind Tractors at Kerr Center’s Cannon Horticulture Project by George Kuepper Horticulture Program Manager-Retired 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many past and present Kerr Center employees and interns played valuable roles in learning from and documenting our decade of work with walk-behind tractors. Deserving special mention are Simon Billy, Bruce Branscum, Hannah Daniels, Jacob Delahoussaye, Luke Freeman, Lena Moore, Jon Pollnow, Bobby Quinn, David Redhage, Liz Speake, Seth Stallings, and Samantha Wann. PREFACE: This publication deals primarily with Kerr Center’s experience with walk-behind tractors over the ten-year period that I managed its Cannon Horticulture Project. Further observations come from continuing work with two-wheel tractors at my home garden in Arkansas. Last, but far from least, are contributions from Jim Shaw, of Cedar Farm/BCS, outside of Sand Springs, Oklahoma (see https://www.cedarfarmok.com/). Jim has been our primary source for walk-behind tractors, implements, parts, and guidance from the outset, and has been an inspiration for this publication. Before beginning, I ought to explain the context in which we used walk-behind technology. The Cannon Horticulture Project is a demonstration and research site that supports small farm education, alternative crop demonstrations, and heirloom vegetable trials and seed production. Its dominant educational feature is its organic bio-extensive manage- ment system.1,2 Organic management precludes using most commercial fertilizers, herbicides, and other pesticides. Bio-extensive management requires significant and creative use of winter and summer cover crops, mulches, and trends toward reduced tillage and cultivation.
