The amendment, introduced by Sen. “Subjecting family farmers and ranchers to costly requirements is an unnecessary burden we cannot afford.” A 90-day extension to the current bill has been approved through June 30, 2012, while the House finishes revisions...

An automatic transmission with a “trailer mode” forces the transmission to shift at higher rpms for more power when pulling a heavy load uphill. Your vehicle's suspension should be able to handle a tongue weight of about 10 percent of the trailer's...

(I'm totally serious—I love this dorky stuff.) In addition to educational materials they've developed, SSSA members will come to your group and talk about these soil topics for free.

Many municipalities make leaf compost from leaves collected off of streets each autumn. If you have a shovel and some buckets (or better still, a pickup truck), call your own municipality and ask if a pile of leaf compost is available to residents.

By learning the plants in our own backyards we keep medicine local. Last year, we waited too long to place our seed orders and some of our picks were sold out. I will study one new plant found in my back yard or neighborhood each month.

Record everything you can. September Start searching your local nursery or your favorite catalog for spring-blooming bulbs. Enjoy the summer's first tomatoes this month. Deconstruct your container plantings, empty the contents into the compost pile and/or...

You don't need a livestock trailer to transport small animals like sheep, goats, pigs and calves, but it's trickier to haul them in a truck or van. If you make your own truck-bed hauler, make it stout! And always add a roof—you'd be surprised how high...

I'll try to cure as many as I can, but it seems a dim, faint hope that they will tighten up enough for months of storage. All the info I found online about storing onions only addresses those neat, round bulbs like the good onion farmers seem to be able...

But it was a good thing to rejuvenate the tree for the future crops.Once I finished the trimming chores, I could rest a few more rainy and snowy weeks; but then, starting in March, I've been outside every day.

Drain and then smother withbutter and salt to taste. Some people like a dash of vinegar or lemon juice. Feeling right proud of myself, I hightailed it out of there. Your best bet is to do a little recon in the summer.

Take at least three pictures and post them in the appropriate PlantFiles entry:4. From DG members who have been here for over a decade, to newbies who just joined us, and from the far south to literally the North Pole, gardeners are gathering for the...

Here's what they had to say: Melissa Griffiths Farmer and Blogger at Bless This Mess “Gourmet popcorn! I've been growing organic heirloom popcorn that my late grandfather cultivated over 50 years ago.

Add some whipped cream, and there's nothing like it! But my favorite pudding is not banana, it is plain hasty bread pudding. It was a popular accompaniment to roast beef and the two together composed the traditional Sunday brunch.

A spinoff of food trucks, mobile farmers markets are stocked with the same farm-fresh produce, meat and eggs you'd find at traditional farmers markets. “The Mobile Market … not only serves as a physical link between farmers and the areas that lack...

This expansion was driven by completion of significant utility-scale projects, expansion of new state markets, declining technology costs and the federal treasury's section 1603 grant program.

I'm Supermom, not Putter-around-the-house-with-bulbs-mom. Now that we have refrigerated trucks and interstate shipping and all the other conveniences of modern society, we also have forced bulbs available in supermarkets and chain stores all over the...

The latest ball of joy comes from Goats of Anarchy , which posted a video of a cute little goat in a sweater hopping around and thoroughly enjoying itself. It has no purpose or place to be; it's just having fun.

Once you figure out where they will go you can locate your pier pads, figure one at each end of the beam and one for every 8' of run. I was even able to add some custom touches such as the built in flower boxes and a rounded step.

Determine the amount of taxes (road and/or shipping taxes), cost of personnel or workers.Multiply the ground transportation number by the number of boxes to be transported, which equals the total cost of transport.
