Description
This week we talk about our new YouTube series we will be publishing over the next several months called "Five Minutes on the Farm". We set up some new fencing for the pigs and Andy longs for more permanent fences on the farm. We are getting ready for piglet farrowing in the next week and we talk a little about the new pig waterer we built. We briefly stop by the veggie patch to talk gardening and asparagus and raspberry plants.
The CoopCast Community has a followup on the "Milk Rant" from CoopCast 067 and the listener response in CoopCast 068. We also respond to a suggestion from a listener regarding farm tours and interns.
This weeks concludes with a Rumination about GMO's. We challenge the listener to consider that the concept of a GMO is not categorically bad - there are some really good things that come from GMO's in the world and we touch on a few of them.
