We've had such lovely Indian summer
weather lately! It's a refreshing change from the rain we've had for
too long this fall. It has truly been an extreme growing season-
either far too much rain, or not nearly enough. We were so excited to
have the...

My first Blog posting here. Let's see how it goes. I send email to my customer lists in Hastings on the Hudson, and in Chappaqua every once in a while. Maybe I will start using this. We just returned home from the Cobleskill Fair this...

A small bale of hay is 50 gallons of material, and sometimes, due to moisture content, density or other quality factors, the weight of the bale may differ. Like a bushel, a small bale is a volumetric assessment. Thus, it is often better to get...

It seems summer is finally here, bringing lots of sun. We've even had some 90+ days here at the farm already, which have sure helped to dry things up after the rains of spring. Other than crops like lettuce and beans, which we plant small batches...

Bamboo is a grass and where the farmer has enough water to irrigate other hay crops (such as rye or alfalfa), they ought to consider this hay instead.

Tamworth Pig If
you've read many of my posts you know I love old books on farming and
especially pigs. I have a pretty good collection dating back as far as

The heat wave is still here. It's 9:15 in the morning and it's already 85 degrees with 66% humidity, so I'm planning to be inside as much as I can today. Although it's not supposed to get as high as the 98 degree weather we had earlier th...

July is here, bringing hot weather and a number of rain-free days in a row. That means it's hay making time! For us. it's as much a normal part of July 4th weekends as picnics and fireworks. We've been fortunate to have a stretch of dry weather, so...

What breed is best for finishing on grass? Well, there is tons of debate, and no "right" answer.
We raise Maine-Anjou and (Black) Angus cattle. First a little about our Maine cows. They are a dual purpose breed of cattle that...

Don't you just hate when you type a great entry and then the computer crashes? I guess I'll try again and save this time! It's been one of the busiest weeks in memory. Moday was for running errands in town (20 miles one way) while Dan mowed hay....

Well, we knew the school buses would be rolling by beginning this week, but we were hoping for summer to stick around a bit longer since it took so long to get here. Over the weekend it seemed cool and almost fall like, and our low overnight temperatures...

It's time to haul the rest of the hay for this year. 20 tons to go. I call it my "concentrated strength training" for the year. One thing about it, I sure don't need a gym membership! I still use the small square bales. ...

We went to a farm auction on Wednseday looking to pick up some equipment to make haymaking easier. Although the hay loader went out of our price range, we were able to pick up a dump rake. It was quite the conversation piece; many of the older men...
