Suede lives outside or in the barn 24/7 all the other dogs live in my house. I do not breed the ACDs. My Chihuahuas are almost all geriatric, 10 years and up. I have 2 intact females. One I am showing she is 2 yrs old and her mother who is 5. I may have one litter every 2 years or so.
We have 30 cows and 3 bulls plus their calves.

I inherited a share of a dairy farm.
I don't like the cow milk though, trying to grow gas instead...

Ooh I have another question.... What will you grow when your 4 years of mint are up? Or will you just leave it fallow for a while?

I would say corn will be planted after the 4 years.

there seems to be a lot of space between the mint plants. Do you have to do anything about weeds?

Not much to run atm. It's me, my sis, my dad (who don't live there) and my uncle (who does). Uncle has some organic grass fed beefs hanging out until the gas crop is ready to harvest.
edit: We recently had the zoning changed to tree farm - lowered the taxes by quite a bit...

That is a pivot irrigation system.
This is the first year so this is called row mint and I took that photo on the edge of the field. By harvest there will be no more space. The field is sprayed for weeds we had some volunteer corn in it earlier.

Nice place, jinx. That's 6 miles east of my ancestral home (where my aunt lives now) and 4 miles east of the lake where I am a trustee of the family cottage. Real familiar looking scenery.
