>>>I’m just waiting for some new government regulation telling us just how much pollution we are causing with our manure spreading and preventing us from using it for fertilizer.<<<
Well..... Wait no more... Any farmer in our whole area has to have a nutrient management plan drawn up and approved! Not only is manure use limited and regulated, but you can only spread manure Mon-Thu unless there is a holiday, and then you cannot spread it the day before a holiday weekend nor the day after the holiday. Right now they cannot even use all our chicken manure around here, so they pelletize it and ship it in bulk and in bags for use in other areas of the country. Our sandy soil could sure use it, but in the infinite wisdom of government, its use is restricted!
>>>Where do you get all your energy?<<<
LOL it isn’t that I have so much energy as having perseverance. Once I get started on something, I usually keep plugging away at it till it finally gets done. Plus, it is nice to be able to do things when the ‘spirit’ moves me. Like today, after canning 3 canners of broth, I really wanted to get out and dig in the dirt... So I hitched up that tiller and tilled the whole garden, even though it was pretty chilly, I bundled up and enjoyed pulling that tiller back around and around...
>>>In another post, you mentioned growing an acre of wheat. How much land do you cultivate? <<<
Well, I have 7.52 Acres. More than enough to keep me as busy as I want to be... LOL
