Small farming is something that most people do alone or with only 1 or 2 others. Like family. That being the case, we have to be innovative form time to time. I consider myself such because I can troubleshoot issues out in the field.

Find things the kiddos can do to help. Nothing better than family time spent that way. But I don't take on more that would impede on my downtime. I could give myself more acreage and more work, but I don't need to.

People have gone to the ER for less. Do you have a co-worker that would help you out? Family member? And have you tried pushing the opposite side of your finger from where the splinter went in? That might help push it out just enough so you can get a grip on it.

Which side are you on? There are pros and cons to both, and here is a sampling of that: No-Till Farming: What's the Deal? It seems like too much work to change over considering the lack of benefits to no-till. Change my mind.

It won't do any damage to anything, I don't see how it could, but it won't fully charge your battery. Your charger might explode though because you're asking it to do too much. All the while your battery is sitting there saying "This tickles". LOL You might want to upgrade your charger Brandy.

If the truck is company property then their insurance will likely only cover what is owned by the company. I wouldn't keep your personal tools in their truck.

The only difference is the color of their coat. If you wanted to breed a red and a blue it wouldn't be a crossbreed as they are the same breed. You might end up with a purple dog though.

Ivy is a vine and people in certain areas train them in order to cover their houses. I have an old fence out front that I plan to do that with. Cover it with a natural cover instead of replacing it. That would be out of my budget.

You will probably be crawling without it. You can walk faster at that point. Get it refilled as this will cause problems if you don't.

The newer the truck, the more it can typically haul. The load capacity should be stated somewhere in the truck. Usually on a sticker on the front door with other specs. If you're still unsure, don't go more than 2 tons.

It should. Do you have an impact wrench? Keep in mind that if it's an Arvin Meritor product, the tightening and loosing procedures are the opposite of regular parts.

Skid steers in my area can run up to $400 for 48 hours. A bulldozer will likely be much more than that. And that's not counting the transport cost to get it out to you.

Here Is A Link that will take you in the right direction. Every state has an extension office. It also depends on any zoning restrictions that a county has that the state does not. It can be tricky.

I put this in the news section simply because I would like to see news, anywhere in the media, about Micheal Bloomberg's agricultural policies. Has anyone here heard anything about it?

How does your livestock fare in extreme weather? Yes, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota I'm talking to you. Do you take special precautions when an arctic blast is headed your way? Do you have all the resources you need? Winter is in full swing now.

On the homestead it would be perfect. But if you want to trek out to where the wild things are, you need a quad. Out where I live you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a quad.

Well that stinks. Does anyone know where Manitoba is in relation to Idaho? I know Canada got hit and Idaho is kinda right there, so.........

Yeah, never give a name to an animal you're going to eat. Especially if you have kids. Since turkeys are wild though, I wouldn't want to try and domesticate it. So no to the pet idea there.

We all know how hard it is to make a living here. One way to help with this is to write off your equipment lease payments through section 179 when you're filing your taxes. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

I know that Kennco makes a bed mower that cuts lower than conventional bed mowers. Why it has to I don't know though, I don't grow hemp. Is there good money in it?
