I used to have an insurance customer who built "outhouses". More accurately they make composting toilet systems. Bio Sun Systems, Millerton PA. They are great people with a great idea. They have put...

I'm back with more venom. This is a topic that makes me want to puke. Let me start by saying that I am aware of disgusting things that people are capable. There are farmers who mistreat animals!...

But seriously, Upick...

I have a solution for your rabiit problem. First go out in full day light, second get a good rabbit dog, let her do all the work! See attached dog for sale (joke)/forums/images/icons/grin.gif

I live on 86 acres (60 tillable) in N. central PA. I recently sold my business and am looking to earn modest income from farming. I grew up here on a dairy farm. I have experience (at least a little)...
