Description
The updates this week start with the farming weather - and the fact it's been unusually "normal". We have moved the chickens to pasture on a solid growth of clover andthey are loving it. The pigs are gowing well and weaning is a few weeks away. In the vegetable garden the peas and eveything else is growing and healthy. Even the weeds are under control with the mulching effort we have undertaken this year.
In the CoopCast Community we wanted to take a bit to thank all the listeners and farmers who shared their thougths and good wishes with us following episode 110. We talk a little about some of the questions people asked and share some of our thoughts about raising pigs going forward in the future.
