smallfarmnation.com So it’s December and we’re winding down the farm season. While that means we have fewer chores to do, we still have farm chores, right? Frozen water troughs, hay that’s gotta be dished out, pigs still need to be fed and so on.

In this episode I'll walk you through 7 Farm Marketing tasks you can perform this winter to get your farm in great shape for next year.
