Updates this week on the farm:

We learned that Ollie is no more on the farm we took him to,
Hay and livestock trailer,
The seasons final chicken processing,
5 gallon bucket waterer gauge,
And a question - what makes you happy when farming?

In the Veggie Patch:

Tomatoes and canning,
Succession planting,
We discuss the results of the above ground potato growing method (from coopcast 014)

Questions, Conversations and Ruminations:

We get asked all the time "Don't you get attached to your animals?"
Can you care about the animals you eat for meat? 
Is it better to not like them? 
Is that why we've gone to a system of mistreatment?
