Everyday is Earth Day for Farmers and Ranchers.
Our lives depend on the land.
We care for it so that it may care for us in an abundant and healthy harvest.
We care for it because, for many, the land has been in the family for generations and to keep it for generations more requires care.
Here are a few recent examples of ways we care:
All four kill deer eggs hatched thanks to a cautionary flag added to the road to keep vehicles from driving over the nest.
This is the second of three owl boxes we have set up to help provide homes for Barn Owls. One box is fully occupied and we hope to have residents in the newest ones soon.
We work with our farm consultants to utilize crop protection materials in a way that keeps these beneficial lady bugs thriving.
We add wildflowers for bee and butterfly feed to promote healthy populations in both.
None of these items is thanks to grant funding. We just strive to take care of our environment every day. The health of the land is vital to the health of our farm and family.
