Under James’s direction, about half of the acreage at Hillcroft is devoted to agriculture. In addition to alfalfa and alfalfa mix hay, which we use ourselves and sell, we grow soybeans, corn and wheat. Plans are in development to refine the soybeans into bio diesel and to recycle farm waste into compost. Always searching for ways to employ “green techniques” in our farm management, we currently use cardboard bedding, which not only benefits our horses in cutting down on dust, but breaks down more readily in the environment.
