As a hog producer had to add bacon

I know this stuff is coming. So my dad when a teenager he plowed with horses, He saw quite a change in tractors for lets say next 40 years. I can only image if he was still here today what he might say. At my age 64 I don't ever see my self adapting to this change, but once again I could b on...

Got some we were fortunate to see at a very young age

So here's a bit of bigger picture for me. There was, maybe still is i don't know but at tax credit of 26%. 1 More big part is I won't b raising hogs for ever when that day happens we probably won't have much of, if any of a power bill. I know this isn't totally "living off the grid" like...

Sorry Bad choice of words using (saved me $3,500). The $3,500 is what I got credit for. I actually produce more that stayed on the farm. My electric bill for April before solar was turned on was $751. Now after the solar was turned the April bill was $340. Falls right in line with what was...

I think she just had them. 3 hours later all were gone. But agree they don't bed with them

We live at this location also. 2 weeks ago a camera set up to cover our driveway had a picture of a doe in the middle of the night. Good chance it was her

Nestled in the waterway not 75' from our hog barn. One of the pictures you can see edge of our solar panels. I couldn't get any closer to capture the hog buildings behind her.

Kinda toned it down over last couple of years. But got 60 chestnuts started along with saw tooth oak. One of the most important don't over water.
