How cold is too cold for Cereals?

Over-night temperatures on May 22 to 23 dipped to -2 to -3 oC in many parts of Ontario. Cereal crops are hardy to light frosts. Leaf tissue on plants that have not hardened off will withstand temperatures of -4 oC or lower before the cells will freeze and damage occurs, making late spring frosts of little consequence.

Pigs Destroy Everything! Upgrading Our Pig Watering System

Video: Pigs Destroy Everything! Upgrading Our Pig Watering System

I'm beyond over the broken water dishes. It feels like we're replacing them every month or so....so it's time to start upgrading our pig watering system.

In this one, we'll begin converting from an old bucket and dish method to a more automated approach with pig nipple waterers.

We'll walk you through our thoughts and plans on how we'll set this up off of a plastic drum, how we'll keep it secure, and even change our plans along the way when I realize there is a simpler and more effective way to get the job done.

We thank you for watching - please consider hitting that like and subscribe to stay tuned for updates on this project and all sorts of fun from our farm.
