Appalachian Mountain Farming (pics)

I was not far from you this weekend. I have been in Hillsville at the trade day and gun trade.

Kenny I wish I would have known it I would have come and seen ya I live about 20 mins from hillsville

I was up there too. This is the 5th year I have went. I beleive that if you cannot find it in Hillsville it has never been made.

I agree, we bought a bear trap. I had never even seen one before. This one was home made but works well. Took 2 people to set it.

Thanks all. I did mention that's not my place. The good thing is she lets me use it like it is.
I do hope the trees color well this year. I'll get some pics.
Speaking of season change, It's ACORN time again.

Whats a acorn ?

It's what I call a nut that grows on an oak tree. But I'm not an arborist. I just know I don't like cows eating em.

lol no no I was just teasing ... I was saying that cause I haven't found one tree here that has any on it. I am supposed to be an Arborist if I don't know what one is then I am in the wrong business for sure :lol2:

Same here but in Hillville I did notice the trees were loaded.

The white oaks are loaded here too. I have be never worried about the cows eating them. The only time I have known them to be a problem is when acorns are the only thing that they have to eat. As long as they still have some grass I have never had any problems.

 

[skyhightree1]

oh never really worried about it I dont have any white oaks in my pastures. The only thing that worried me was apple trees in the pastures.

Let me know when one of your neighbors has to sell. That is beautiful country.
