Not the thickest fall hay I ever cut, but considering we lost the third cutting to a two-month drought, I'll take all I can get. https://t.co/27HUXXl7zt

I got to know Matt Rinella a few months ago and, considering his connection to the host of the Meateater hunting show, it took guts for him to speak out on this. Check out his podcast - https://t.co/39NL7zUL3O https://t.co/RGJqeXDi2T https://t.co/XcvoBi3ugh

Theres a reason why I reseeded everything with late season orchardgrass: I can't get everything off early, but the fields that I'm late getting to still look good in mid-June. https://t.co/rVeE26EmMD

Sticking her nose on a broom handle. This cow does it all the time while waiting to come into the parlor, and just stands there. I don't even question it anymore. https://t.co/wZVvEhp4KV

Fuel shortages, land mines on the roads and missiles striking silos are just a few of the risks farmers in Ukraine face as planting season begins followed by harvest in June. War Sows Uncertainty for Ukraine’s Crucial Winter Wheat Crop https://t.co/Klv7xL4FkX via @LancFarming

Just spoke to Oleg Nivievskyi, economy expert in Kyiv about upcoming planting season in Ukraine. Said farmers can't get to their fields because of mines on the roads. He reported a missile strike destroying grain silos on a farm. A lot of uncertainty right now. Story coming soon

Ukraine Ag Minister: Dairy Farmers Will Fight for Their Farms https://t.co/IoGGOd07SZ via @LancFarming

I just talked w Taras Vysotosky the Ukraine Dep. Minister of Trade and Agr, about the impact of war on Ukraine's dairy farmers. Powerful statement: "In most cases, our dairy farmers are staying on their farms. They're going to protect it. They're going to fight for their farms."

The temperature when I went to the barn this morning, and the temperature when I came back in 3 hours later. It usually takes me about 2 hours to feed and do chores in the morning, but during a cold winter everything takes longer. https://t.co/lA8fIm7Hml

Had a great time talking hunting, fishing, farming and life (is there anything else?) with country singer @ChaseRiceMusic for this story in #HookAndBarrel Magazine. Bowhunting for elk or flyfishing for trout, Chase is legit. https://t.co/MgbJFWc9du via @Hook & Barrel

Agriculture is used as a scapegoat for a lot of environmental issues, especially global warming. The real culprit is the big cities and not the rural areas. https://t.co/ltRDSwnCBp

The use of tracking dogs to recover deer and bear is growing in Pennsylvania. The recovery success rate with a dog is one-third, and those that aren't recovered are likely still alive. https://t.co/koslqe3cPN

I always watch for coyotes and even stray dogs getting into the pasture when the cows are having calves. The bigger threat, however, may be one from the sky. Black Vultures a Rising Danger to Livestock in Pennsylvania https://t.co/JJRioPvPkk via @LancFarming

Thought I was done baling for the year, but the neighbor just combined soybeans and said I could bale the fodder. It's very dusty and hard on a baler, but run it through a chopper and soybean fodder makes great bedding. Now time to clean the baler up and put it away, finally. https://t.co/r7SxPuP9st

Loading the last of the hay for the year. 5th cutting grass carried us into November. Despite the rain, it was a good hay season. https://t.co/y2N31rpmlu

Last calf of the fall and happy to end the year with a nice heifer from one of our best old cows, 42 (she lost her ear tag). We usually run about 50-50 with bull and heifer calves, but this year it was 70% bulls. https://t.co/fK00pX5GyN
