Annual Farming Day

The Annual Farming Day was April 12th.  Alright, you may or may not have known that.  But I’m here to tell you, that I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for everyone to get in touch with Mother Nature.

Now, if you missed out on the event, it’s ok!  You will have another opportunity coming up….  Earth Day is April 22, 2011.

Manure Management

Alright, I’m going to tell it like it is.  Everyone needs to learn to manage their………… manure! 😀

No matter how many horses or other livestock you have or where you live, manure management should be your #1 priority.  This is a natural breeding ground for flies, mosquitoes, gnats and bots.  Eliminate the breeding ground, annihilate the population.  Ok, that is hopeful thinking on my part as these little annoyances propagate faster than I can kill the little buggers.  But with proper care I can slow them to a more manageable capacity. 

This is a never-ending process and more so in the warmer months of the year.
