Farm bill programs help farmers with expensive projects

The farm bill is a major piece of legislation that is passed every five years. It provides funding for a variety of programs that support agriculture, including conservation programs. These programs help farmers protect water quality, wildlife habitat, and other natural resources. 

One of the most important ways that the farm bill helps farmers meet environmental regulations is through cost share programs. These programs provide financial assistance to farmers who implement conservation practices. The amount of financial assistance that farmers receive can vary depending on the program and the specific practice. 

Cost share programs can be a valuable tool for farmers who are looking to improve their operations and protect the environment. These programs can help farmers save money, reduce their environmental impact, and improve their bottom line. 

In addition to cost share programs, the farm bill also provides funding for other conservation programs, such as technical assistance and education programs. These programs help farmers learn about conservation practices and how to implement them on their farms.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
