In August of 2016, I toured Ruene farm in Skiptvet with Stian Haltuff. I met Stian’s family, his cows, his little dog, and the oats, barley, pea grain, and rapeseed in the fields. The tour ended at Stian’s grain mill.
O beautiful for spacious skies
for amber waves of grain
One by one, Stian listed the grains that were ground together to make the nutritious food that the cows need to produce their best milk. One by one, he pointed to the fields where he grew those grains. And finally…the last nugget…the soy.
