I always get depressed in September. The summer is ending, and everything starts dying. October really depresses me even more, as the garden plants die and the trees loose their leaves. Daylight is so much shorter, and you can't spend as much time outside. The way I get over it is looking...

The powder, is called Kwik Stop. The other thing you may be referring to is a Styptic Pencil. Both can be used on animals and humans.

Farming was never my main income, but it was something that I loved. I had to retire from farming because of degenerative disc disease. I've had three back surgeries, and I finally couldn't maintain 103 acres, producing my own hay and running a dairy goat farm, and also raising sheep for wool...

Pick-ups have been ridiculously expensive for years. I buy new cars, but I can't afford new pick-ups. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra half-ton that I bought used in 2014, and I am trying to keep it going as long as possible, but I'll probably have to replace it in a year. Luckily it's not my daily...

Excessive heat can reduce laying production. You can try putting some fans in the chicken coop. I've done that and it did help somewhat when it was very hot. Don't let the fans blow directly on the chickens, though. I used fans to mostly exhaust air to keep it moving.

Thanks GrowPro!!!

Hello! Great idea, if it eliminates all of the spam we get. I'm actually a former farmer, or retired farmer, though I still have a day job. My wife and I had a dairy goat farm, produced goat milk, we also had an egg business, we shipped eggs from upstate New York to New York City and we also...

My wife and I like to watch similar shows, some are compelling and some are ridiculous. I don't beieve that we are alone in the universe, there are too many earth-like planets to think there is not intelligent life out there. Many observations regarding UFO's are un-explanable unless they are...

Haying is complicated and you really can't take shortcuts. Like Henderson said, it sounds like your father is cutting out steps. You can't bale properly without raking the hay into windrows, and if he has the baler set to make oversized bales I could easily see the bales getting crossed. And...

I love the summer. I'm not ready for fall either.

Everyone is different, but if you have some great days, it's probably improving. Keep it up, you should feel better soon. The trick is to not ignore it once the pain goes away. Keep using the inserts and keep up the stretching. I made the mistake, the first time I had it, of stopping the...

Back in the 90's I had a bunch of DeWalt battery powered tools and really liked them, but I don't think DeWalt is as good as it used to be. I've tried several different brands of battery powered tools and haven't really been happy with any of them. Currently, I have a contractor, who I really...

One thing to know is that blueberries need a lot of sun.

When I started my goat herd, all of my goats were registered, but after a while I realized that it just wasn't worth registering them. It didn't allow me to sell my milk for more money, and I had no trouble selling kids that were not registered. I got a little less for the kids, but it just...

You should bring those questions to your local cooperative extension. They can tell you what the market is in your area and they can also help you arrange for soil testing to determine what kind of crops you can grow.

I agree with Urban Homestead, one tractor is probably all that you need. A sub-compact tractor is probably too small for what you're thinking of, but a good compact tractor would probably serve you well.

I've had plantar fasciitis off and on as well. Those stretches really do work. Also, there are inserts for your shoes that really help, as well. Most drug stores sell them. The ones made by Dr. Scholls help.

It is a sad time for NYers, and I'm a NYer. Cuomo should resign, or else he'll be impeached. What he has done cannot be tolerated.

Normally we would water flowers every day, but there's been so much rain this year that we haven't had to. Even when it doesn't rain, the ground is pretty saturated.

I live in NY, as well. Right on the Vermont border. So far it's not too bad here.
