Farming at 5600 feet

May 3, 2016 by Brenda Leave a Comment

Farming is a gamble anywhere you live.  You never know what the weather is going to do.  Our altitude where we live is 5600 feet.  While a frost in May is not unusual for us we still get our sprinklers going and our pivot turned on to start watering the alfalfa.

Farm Convention – Boise Idaho

December 6, 2016 by Brenda Leave a Comment

We had an enjoyable opportunity on the first of December to join farmers and ranchers just like us.   We were able to attend a Farm Bureau Convention in Boise, Idaho.  We really enjoy learning new farming and ranching ideas.  I always enjoy hearing the success stories of others.
