Blog: The Orchard at Apolloson Acres   -   Monday September 28, 2009   -   By Allison

Alas, the rain has hit us in NE Ohio! It's a much needed rain, especially on our farm where it fills our cistern, among other things! Apple Trees don't like "wet feet", but they do need a good watering every once and again. Horses do not like...

Blog: Bastrop Cattle Company   -   Wednesday December 03, 2008   -   By Pati

I posted my concern over the future of my land a few days ago.  Several other farmers and ranchers commented -- some with even more dire situations than mine! It made me realize that so many of us producers are aware of the value (not $$) of our land,...
