Jesus said “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep.”
John 10:14-15 NIV
Added a few more bee hives this year. We got lucky and our hives from last year survived the winter. The bees will be busy pollinating sunflowers, flax and alfalfa this growing season. Hopefully making lots of honey as well! #pollinators#bees#soilhealth
@RickBieber81@JoshJohnso78869@FredVLarsen Rick, have you had any issues with wheat streak mosaic virus in the winter wheat when you plant it early in the fall with the multi species cover crop?
Rye cover crop was seeded in late November. Was surprised to see it up and growing this spring after the open winter. Really nice seeding conditions for soybeans. #notill#covercrops#soilarmor
@Farmertom7@gavin_spoor I do like how heavy they are. That’s why I went with the I&J. We were very wet last spring so I couldn’t get the crop crimped at the proper timing. Good learning experience. Will keep using it when I can. Learned not run it through wet spots. Not the funnest to clean mud out of
@schrieferranch@blonglet Could but I would need more cows! He is 20-30 miles south of me. I’m sure a few of his neighbors that have cattle would work a little better.
@ndrockfarmer@embdenhaymaker@robertlufkinmd The beef smell/ flavor all has to do with how well you render and strain it. The reason it works so well as a balm for your skin is the oils and nutrients in the fat around the kidneys is very similar to the natural oils on our skin.
@ndrockfarmer @natalie_kovarik @SteaknShake We render our own tallow and use for cooking so I’m not sure how much it costs to buy. It tastes great though. Elli makes tallow balm out of it too.
@jarluh 1 acre/day 320 pairs. Roll out 10lbs/pair of alfalfa every other day and keep descent grass hay out free choice and free choice sodium bicarbonate. Started slow kept them full on hay the first few days. This was 150 bushel corn and I figure around $.95 pair/day including hay
