Such a great idea because I had never imagined that it was possible to achieve this. Who even knew that Listerine had other uses too? Wow, this got me laughing out loud. It can be hectic trying to remove these stains at times, yeah?

Would you be interested in growing mushrooms? There is a variety of them out there, and you'll have to make a choice first before making the necessary modifications of the barn, like limiting the light coming in.

There are many tricks you can use, and at times, it can be that the cow is scared of the bucket. Have you ever attempted to use a small plastic bucket to minimize the noise?

We had such a cow a few years back, and what you must always do is calm yourself down. The cow starts being grumpy if we display signs of being in a hurry. Apart from what @Logan has suggested, you can use a kicker rope or kicker bar.

It also mild over here, though the past two months have witnessed more rain than anticipated, so there was a lot of water harvesting! I expect the next few weeks to be cooler.

Are we close to the point where there is sufficient food for everyone? In an ideal sense, it is vital to have a safe and nutritious food supply. How can we work to decrease say, greenhouse gas emissions, and the levels of carbon in the soil? Climate change feels like the biggest threat to global...

I agree with this. However, you are not required to obtain a CDL provided you do not travel beyond 150 air miles and out of the state where the truck is based.

Corn that directly comes from the field is hard and not sweet. Field corn goes through a mill and gets converted to food products and other ingredients. The farmers leave the corn in the fields until the kernels are dry because it is easier to process that way.

We can reduce the single-use burden by recycling many items on the farm. What are you currently recyling, and what are your thoughts on the various recycling schemes? How can silage wrap, plastic feed bags, or silage sheets be reused?

My thinking is that the method used would depend on the size of the tire? Depending on its size, try placing it in a concrete culvert, then tying a chain attached to the rim and pulling it.

Do you usually rely on groundwater reserves to carry you through the dry season? In most places, there is a regulation about pumping groundwater. How then can we build sustainability and conserve water? Has anyone thought of or built a pond before?

It has been a while, but sometime back, I used to do this twice a year. Should we first check what contaminants could be in the water considering that this varies from place to place?

My motivation comes from seeing other farmers achieve so much gradually. It goes to show that dedication and risk-taking (at times) are necessary and are part of the process. A farmer's resolve should be one that doesn't give room for giving up.

I don't think that there's an ideal age. The workers may have a legit concern, so don't ignore their input. Aren't you so encouraged that your ten-year-old is already developing an interest in farming?

Well, I am interested to know if this is a global statistic? If so, then we could say that most people opt for farming much later in life. Again, it depends on the nature of farming or the size of the farm(s) in question.

This type of farming appeals to many people not as being profitable, but as a healthy and ethical choice. It could be the next big thing in a few years. Have you ever thought about the environmental benefits that result from practising organic farming?

I don't have the exact figure, but I sure have spent quite an amount throughout this career. Before eyeing the rolling tool chest, what had you bought last, and what has been the most expensive item so far?

We all probably know that there is a growing demand for mutton, hence the rise in popularity and demand. Even when choosing a breed, it is necessary to consider your area. How else do you settle on the best read?

It is a hardwood hence is moderately good for firewood. When seasoned properly, it splits easily, burns relatively clean and produces heat in fair amounts. There can be difficulty in splitting the wood if the seasoning is not well done.

Though this varies depending on driving habits, the replacement of the fuel filter should take place every 10,000 - 25,000 miles. In some areas, an equivalent of 2 years (20,000 miles) is often the recommendation for older machinery, and it should take longer for newer models.
