Brian Tingley, Seven Seeds Farm
Improved Soil & Increased Production with BCS Walk-Behind Tractor
Grant Award: $8,000
Seven Seeds Farm, an intensively cropped, 1-acre organic market garden, previously relied on leased equipment, including a BCS walk-behind tractor, which required additional manual labor to prepare seed beds. With the lease ending, replacing this equipment was essential to maintain production.
Brian used his grant to purchase a 749 BCS walk-behind tractor, a 30″ Roller Blade Flail Mower, and a 30″ Rear Tine Tiller with a Precision Depth Roller. Acquired in early February, the equipment has been extensively used
throughout the season, significantly improving efficiency. Brian can now prepare bed
s on his own schedule without the limitations of shared equipment, ensuring more consistent and productive operations.
