Rural Communities Share the Wealth
Our hay fields yielded more than we could use this year. We thought about selling the excess, but decided to send it to a friend. There is an immediate benefit in that our friend has the food his cattle needed. However, there is also a goodie there for us. We expect to buy cattle from him. Since they have been eating food from our place, they will have already established a "rumen population" that thrives on what we grow. Cattle raised within 25 miles of their place of birth are more disease resistant.

We left the "salts" from some recent construction outside for a while because the butterflies really enjoyed them. We soon had hundreds hanging around.
So, know what feels great after a day of mowing hay? A really hot shower with some Dr. Bronner's Mint Soap.
Yes, it's the one with the eccentric sayings on the side. It's was organic before there even was an organic label.
