With so many people getting help these days we thought we would look into accepting EBT as a payment. Does anyone know anything about getting started with this? Any help is appreciated.

We have loads and loads of pumpkins! We picked a bunch but left a bunch. My children want to enter a pumpkin contest! We took a load to a local farm store to sell. Wish us luck!

It's too early for fall but I have noticed that some of the leaves are changing color already! Eek! It's been a hot and humid summer but I'm not ready for fall yet.

Has anyone been watching the news? What a shame... Governor Cuomo is in a big pot of "disgusting hurt" right now. I really hope that criminal charges are sought against him. What a sad time for NYers.

As many people know, I own many Farmall tractors. Well I have one souped up and I'm going to try my hand at a tractor pull at the end of June. I'm sure I won't win, as I have no idea really how to do it. Anyone else do these?

Finally! I got tickets to go to watch the Yankees next week. Last year we had tickets to 2 games, both were canceled due to the virus. I can't wait! Anyone else doing fun things again this year?

My wife and I both have gotten the covid vaccine. We aren't so sure that we will let the kids get it. I'm pretty sure we won't. Has anyone else thought about this? What are your thoughts?

I figured I might as well touch on taco dip now, already covered chicken wing dip. I'm a meat fan so I always make mine with burger. I don't like the refried beans so we don't use though. Do you go meatless or add burger?

What is the general rule of thumb concerning roosters? How many roosters per hens? Can you have hens that don't get visits from the roosters too? We want both, eggs to eat and baby chicks.

If you make it, are you a blue cheese or ranch fan? We use blue cheese in our dip, and we add blue cheese crumbles on top. I'm not a big fan of ranch in my dip.

I do believe that the next stimulus package has been approved. Has anyone read what is in it? I've seen bickering and complaining on Facebook about it. I saw that it will extend federal unemployment of $300 and a direct payment to people (requirements of course) of $600.

Anyone notice an increase in rodents in your barns, fields or stored crop? My neighbor was complaining about this but I haven't noticed any increase. It's getting colder now and that is usually when they try to get in the house.

How do you keep the water from freezing when it's below zero at night? I'm talking about the water for the animals to drink. We had this problem last year so we are looking for new ways to be proactive.

We have a snowplow for our tractor but it's a pain to put on and take off. I was hoping that someone knew of something that was easier to put on/off. We've got Farmall tractors, so it has to be compatible.

I'm looking to buy a smaller functional but also play tractor for my 10 year old son for a Christmas gift. Any thoughts on this? Should I just teach him how to use a regular one or get something smaller?

I'm going to try a new thing next season, intercropping. Does anyone do it? What crops will grow good planted together? What makes sense? I have heard that it is really great for the soil.

I've been reading up on the benefits of not tilling up your fields after you get your crop out. I have always done this, as did my father and grandfather. I know farming changes through the years. Do you or don't you and why?

We've been asked by our small town if we/they could "haunt up" (their words) our barn. We have a big older, mostly unused barn (storage etc.). There is no trick or treating this year, another shut down from the pandemic, so they want a small party. Kind of like groups of 10 or so at a time. We...

Tonight we are making homemade pizza. We use homemade dough (from the bread machine),tomatoes that we saved from our garden last year, cheese, lots of veggies and meats. Do you make homemade pizza?

I know, winter is almost over, but let's talk homemade soups. What's your favorite? Post your recipe. Do you use a stockpot, crockpot or what? Do you follow a recipe or just toss things in?
