I sure hope that's the case with my SIL's!

Mine too! I did manage to get the manure on and tilled in last fall so, for once I'm ahead. Hopefully, just a good tilling this spring (whenever that may get here) and I can plant.

They were taken in North Central Iowa. reinbeau, do you have the windmills close by? My SIL and her husband have them surrounding their place and one of the concerns in the area is the noise level and the company has paid some people in other places that they have the windmills due to noise...

It's not happening here.

There are many of the windturbine farms going up by my SIL and her husband. They haven't started them yet but, they are wondering how the noise level will be. They have them on all sides of them. Here's some pics I took last fall when we were down there. Right across the road from the house...

And here I am trying my best to get rid of the nettles. Darn things are all over here. I didn't know there was actually something useful one could do with them, I'm sure I have more than enough left or will have once spring arrives and this white stuff goes away!

Chop the onions up and place them single layer on wax paper (or parchment paper) on a cookie sheet and freeze them. Then put into containers or bags (I like the vacuum seal ones) and store in the freezer. The're already chopped and set to go when you need them. Just get them out and add to...

Great news!

Is that dairy farm in different state than you? In many states it is illegal to sell raw milk except to plants. That is where cow shares and trading come in. You can pay the farmer X amount of money to "own" part of a cow. The farmer keeps the cow and takes care of her and you get the milk...

Ours are also cleaned good. Wash bucket with water and udderwash. A clean paper towel for each cow. If a unit gets kicked off it gets cleaned off before going back on the cows. Pipeline here so the milk goes from the cow into the claw up the hose, into the stainless steel pipeline, threw the...

I sure do not like hearing this! Or what Beekissed saw! Here everything had better be in order when the inspector comes or it's written up. No cobwebs, dead flies, dirt or hay on the floor or elsewhere. Everything washed and clean. And for peat sakes don't argue with the inspector, no matter...

Central WI here. We have a dairy farm and chickens. I grow a good sized garden and love to can the produce.

To me this makes scense. Most of our animals are less active at night so they can put the food to use to grow or produce. During the day they are up and busy so they spend some of the energy from the food being active instead of growing or producing. My chickens have food in their feeder 24...

Congratulations! I'm glad Pam and baby are doing well! I hope they continue to do well. :fl

I really like it! :thumbsup

I use Miss P's reciepe and we flavor it with whatever the whim but, mostly jam or fresh fruit.

It does take a lot of time to turn bad land around. We took over "the family farm" that DH's father had run to the ground. We are happy to say that with time and energy things are greatly improved and crops are doing well. The only fertilizers we use are for starter fertilizer on the corn, as it...

I'm glad your keeping things down. :fl that you can make it to your goal. :hugs

It would be the last time I visited such a place. Sounds like wastefulness is more their way than green. :(
