Cow Feed?

Probably smells a heck of lot better too …

Not picky

Hogs are really the garbage disposals of the livestock world. We accidentally ran out of their feed (miscalculation on my part, combined with their increasing food needs!) so they are currently filling their bellies with lots of food that would otherwise be composted. Buckets of tomatoes and other produce that couldn’t be sold. Bread from the @auntmilliesbread outlet. Cracked corn and sunflower seeds we had on hand. And hay that the ruminants weren’t big fans of. Later in the day, they’ll get some eggs that the birds broke, more produce, and more bread. They also have their acre of pasture to find yummy snacks in! We feed a species appropriate diet to each of our animals, but sometimes we just miscalculate their needs, and run out. A couple days of this alternate diet won’t harm them in the slightest, and is good enrichment for their brains! Thank you @danarandall69 for supporting us through @patreon and helping to make all this happen! . . . #farmlife #piglife #pasturedpigs #pasturedpork #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming

Warren County survey shows emerald ash borer infestation has likely spread | Adirondack Explorer

It appears more than just a few ash trees at the Warren County boat launch in Chester are infected with the emerald ash borer, surveyors are finding.

The Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP) and the state Department of Environmental Conservation began checking ash trees within a five-mile radius of the boat launch after the invasive insect was found earlier this month. It was the first known infestation in the Adirondack Park.
