Market Farming

[<David.Purpura AT nokia.com>]

It was a commercial unit, long since out of production.  I don't recall the 
name.  I'd guess it was 30" wide with 3 independent rollers of extruded metal 
and maybe 10 - 12" diameter.  Having independent rollers makes turning nice 
(if you've ever used a wide roller you know what I mean).  It had a rack on 
top for placing weights on, similar to a harrow.  It seemed like a simple 
enough device to make.

NOFA has a whole video library of various lectures and workshops.  I don't 
know if they taped this one - it went on for eight hours!  If you ever get 
the chance to see him, it's worthwhile.  He's well-spoken, dynamic, and has 
lots of nice pictures.

Dave - What kind of 'roller'? IS this a commercial tool?

AND - do you know if tapes are available of the NOFA lecture(s)?
