I'm finally selling the house and moving to the farm I started 20 years ago. Wife just retired and I need to sock away some money safely. Shouldn't be a major problem to get short term CDs at 5.00%. Is that my best bet or other? Shouldn't need any of the money for the next couple of years.

Found these across my backyard last night. The footprints are about 2/3 the size of my 10 and 1/2 shoe. The spacing between steps is around 5 ft coming from a woven wire fence that has not been touched but I can’t see tracks on the other side due to brush. Any ideas?

Anyone have a 3pt chipper? I need to clear an old rock wall about 2000ft and it’s mostly saplings with some dead ash and hedge. Probably need to handle 3 inch and lower. I’ll turn the rest into firewood

This just started coming up in a game plot from last year but no where else on the farm. Any idea what it is?

Think this Johnson grass has a chance?

Got a problem heifer slaughtered on June 16 and split the meat with a co-worker. I charge by live weight whatever the live cattle futures market is the day I haul a cow off to the butcher. In this case it was 1.32 plus 75.00 for hauling. My butcher has really gone up on prices recently. He...

I've mentioned before that my plant is closing and it looks like I'm looking at an hour commute one way every day. Baling hay and hauling cows is not going to be in the cards for the next ten years assuming I can hang on to cows at all. Anyway, this trailer is a '97 20ft made by Demonbreun...

Tyson is going to automate some of the deboning process in it's chicken plants from the looks of things. Gee, I wonder where they got the money? https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/tyson-foods-plans-spend-over-13-bln-automation-projects-2021-12-09/ Can't they just move to Mexico...

Got the Moderna booster shot yesterday around 9:30am. Feels like I'm running a mild fever today and just generally feeling run down. Actually, this is worse than the 2nd shot I got back in March. Maybe it's working? I'm pretty sure it's not the worst thing I ever put in my body(lol)

Can it be done? Looks like they should be capable of 500 deg F. Any of you ever try it? How about hamburgers?

Wife has been making hot wings in the air fryer and it's good but we're using Texas Pete as the sauce. It's not bad hot sauce (though not exactly hot) but it's too thin. Doesn't stick to the wing other than a thin layer. Any recommendations?

I'm sure you guys go through this all the time. I need to educate some new customers that are splitting a 1/2 steer what cuts are available. I've handled this in the past by dealing with the butcher myself and hauling the customers meat for them. They just pick it up at the farm. I did this to...

My wife is pre-diabetic and yesterday her fasting glucose was 137. We had just come off a 48hr fast. Have any of you had any luck lowering your blood sugar levels and keeping it down?
