I have 18 chickens, 2 horses, 2 cows, a donkey 6 goats and a very small vegtable garden, which take up all my spare time. But its fun.
I manage a 165 acre farm here in Maryland, along w /one other guy. Currently have 30 Angus cows + bull, and 39 steers/heifers, 12 of which are heading off to freezer camp next month. Also raise broilers, around 500-600 a year, 150 turkeys, and keep about 150 layers around right now. In addition we raise about 25 acres of corn/soybeans, and also sell custom poultry feed. It keeps me busy, some days more than others, although I do miss having my own farm (leased up in PA until owner sold out to developer unexpectedly) and keeping my own hours. Working for someone else has its drawbacks for sure Although I'm dangerously close to leaving and being able to buy my own farm along w/ the Mrs. who's recently finished up her PhD (ching ching!).
We grow a good size garden every year the kids help which makes it easy kinda. But we also raise pigs and steers! I love to feed my family off our farm but also love to give food to our church family. Next is a bigger chicken coop this year. My goal this year is learning how to jar! I want to make dill pickles and try to make all my squash last till next summer. By freezing it or canning it.
CL Score! Double wheel cultivator. $35. Handles were rotted out so I'll be ordering a new set. It needs a little cleaning up but it'll be working at the farm in no time. Does anyone know a good source to date Planet Jr items?
Man that is a good find for that price. I have a double wheel one that I got from and uncle of mine. Not sure of a good place to date them. I keep meaning to stop and ask about 1 that a person is just letting rust away in a flower bed, just to timid to stop I guess.
