A Blizzard of Free Fertilizer

Parts of Vermont will get 30 + inches of snow today,  and us farmers are wicked happy about this "gift" from Mother Nature.

There are many advantages of having a blizzard with lots of snow.

#1 Free fertilizer for farmers and their fields.
Snow has nitrogen in it and nitrogen makes grass grow and keeps cows happy and well fed.

#2  For a short time you can get a good idea of how a herd of Charolais would look in your field.

#3  Traffic on the road goes to zero.

#4  Hot soup and hot bread with cheese tastes better on a cold snowy day.

Because of this big storm, school may be cancelled, work may be cancelled, events may be cancelled and meetings are cancelled, but all farmers must feed, water and care for their livestock, regardless of the weather, 7 days a week.

Please remember that as you eat lunch.

Stay safe out there!
