D.C. Ads Take Aim at HSUS

D.C. Ads Take Aim at HSUS

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

One group is questioning where the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) donations are going. Humane Watch recently took out billboard ads which can be found on the walls of Union Station in Washington D.C. which ask “Where’s the funding?”

The ads feature dog and cat characters with bolded headings – one billboard says “She’s Pissed” with a cat that’s got her noise up and in smaller print reads “The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) only gives 1% of its budget to local pet shelters. ”

More information about Humane Watch can be found at: http://www.humanewatch.org/.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
