Winter repairs save farms money on fencing
The Weekly Witness notes that fencing repairs are traditionally done in spring but advocates winter work. A few hours' labor can repair a mile of fence in winter, preventing wind damage and avoiding spring delays. Building new fences in fall is possible, and winter work can save hundreds of dollars by avoiding half-done spring efforts.
Keeping Seed Potatoes and Orchard Care Tips
Seed potatoes should be kept in cold storage at about forty degrees with care to avoid freezing. When not possible, sprout prevention measures must be used and bedding ventilation maintained. Barns and stables need early morning checks for faulty ventilation to protect stock and profit. Fruit should be cooled for storage and ripe apples brought to sunlight promptly. Maintain orchard cleanliness, control pests, and mark finest apples in labeled boxes to identify ownership.
