In keeping with their state of the art plow device development protocol, the Yeomans Plow Company, Australia has just introduced a new shank digging point device for their entire series of Yeomans Keyline Plows - (what we call "The Pasture Plow"); this new shank point device with replaceable hardened wear parts surrounding a newly designed tungsten steel tipped plow point to receive the perishables is called the "Merlin".
Modern day Yeomans Plow Developer - Allan Yeomans has spent years developing this newest device in an effort to solve for wear on critical perishable plow point sub-systems.
Up date: Today, 21 October 2009 The Merlin Point has just won the "AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL FIELD DAYS Engineering Award of Excellence For 2009"!
We have video of Allan Yeomans demonstrating the new Merlin Point system posted here and we now have these excellent points in use and in stock now! Friend folks can go now to the Yeomans Plow site (http://www.yeomansplow.com.au), and scroll down to "The Merlin Point" and view the new video with a written description -or- see the video alone here below.
The Yeomans company reports that the new Merlin point system is priced as follows:

Well, ... he's Andre' Voisin "Voisin" - a word meaning"Neighbor"
(7/1/1903 in Dieppe - 21/12/1964 in Havana, Cuba): After College studies and after WW2, Andre' Voisin decided to expose in five successive books the ten years results of his reflections and experimentation on the "Rational Management" of pastures.
His studies related to grass as a food for cattle, on its dynamic production and composition and to include the ground worms (that the author calls the “plough of nature”) and the bacterial microfauna found in those pastures. The French scientist and grazing pioneer, utilized a "Summary of Five Laws", being 1) Law of Restitution of Elements Removed, 2) Law of Restitution of Availiable Elements that have disappeared, 3) Law of the Minimum, 4) Law of the Maximum, 5) Law of the Priority of Biological Quality and demonstrated that an excess or imbalance of one material could be just as harmful to production through the agency of locking up other essential minerals present in the soil. He exposed also the relations of industry (Taylor-Gantt) to that of pasture flora rest and maximum production, etc.
His principal works identifying pasture dynamics were translated into 18 languages. He diffused much of the content of these works via many lecture tours in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Latin America. It is during one of these lectures, in Havana, Cuba - that he died of a heart attack. He was buried there like a true statesman in the vault of l' institute of sciences.
The Elysian Fields and Pasture Project advocates a meaningful advancement of much of Voisin's great works, revelations and efficiencies as they are contained in his many titles, but we feel are interpreted best in “Grass Productivity”, ”Better Grassland Sward”, "Fertilizer Application" and "Prescribed Grazing"– and subsequent interpretations “Greener Pastures on your Side of the Fence” by Bill Murphy and “Holistic Management”, and the styles and protocol methods outlined by Allan Savory's work; indeed, we expound on them!
Many years have gone into the research and development of "The Elysian Fields and Pasture Project" methods; these methods have many facets - from deep rooted muti-mixtured "Seed Pellet" Seeded pasture swards and crops, "Absorption Fertility" via "Keypoint Solutions" - Keyline Pattern Cultivated Pastures and Earthworks, In-field technical high tensileassets includingFence, Orchard - Vineyard and Hay Trellis, Mentoring, Planning and Implementation, etc.
Yeomans Keyline Plow Company sales literature brims with accurately stated one liners; “As your soil gets richer, so do you!”, “The only plow you will ever need”, “..the best plow for the job”, or “Yeomans Plows are always designed to be as versatile as possible”. When asked how often a Yeomans Plow should be used – P.A. Yeomans always answered “If you want to improve your soil, then start plowing the next day after you buy one”. All true statements! We are presented opportunities within this remarkable and versatile plow device to serve an important function toward all of our business' futures.
A.H. Tuttle and Company has long held that future “conventional” mainstream agricultural production models, both pasture and crop, will gradually become based more on “organic type” less invasive - more natural ambient methods; and these will one day serve as common practices. With time, they too will progress simply as the logical farming solution. We see it as essential.
Keyline Pasture and Ley Cropping concepts and principles represent what we feel are an important element necessary to elevate pastoral super systems to the next levels of land stewardship going forward.

In 1980 I first read Masanobu Fukuoka's - Natural Farming manifesto, "The One Straw Revolution". For those who have read and are also familiar with the texts tenets, the ideology of minimum or no primary tillage is intriguing for most. I felt that this principle was also important to my personal wishes to adhere (as much as possible) to the Natural Farming System and further I could understand not having to "plow" if producing within a strict pasture circumstance; ..but how would a crop rotation or breaking sod be accomplished while adhering to the principle of "No Tillage"?
This question would elude me for the next twenty-five years until when in early 2005 a fellow who had been intently reading my website posts for some time, a true kindred spirit by the name of Abe Collins, e-mailed to advise I consider the utility device called the "Yeomans Brand Keyline Plow". It deep tills sod without inverting the soil he said, thus (mostly) adhering to Fukuoka's first principle.
Very early the following year I visited Abe's farmstead in Vermont and witnessed the soil tilth after effects following the plows use and upon further research, ... I was impressed. The strong shank device could deep till with explosive sub-soil fracture effect with little or no surface sod disruption aside from a very narrow deep root kill zone that in turn develops into a natural soil food source in the presences of moisture and oxygen that enters the subsoil via the narrow deep pathway formed by the plows passing. When the plow is used by those aware of protocols, this in turn forms sub-soil conditions that lead to an explosion of humus and stable organic matter (SOM) growth; organic matter increases to exceeding depths and stays stable - increasing rain water and nutrient retention for years in the permanent pasture environment; or, in the circumstance of pasture "Ley" cropping, can be cashed in with the taking of grain crops in rotation and returned to pasture.
To establish this plow as the utmost premium field utility device you can own, the Yeomans Keyline Plow available from A. H. Tuttle and Company, supplies optional individual shank seeders and retrofit shank attachments to fit any kind of utensil tillage perishables you desire, rendering the plow total custom broad scale versatility in every circumstance, and Clear Choice (c) - Elysian (c) can show you how to accomplish this.
