0136 Gilt AI, vegetable garden seed selection and a rifle part
This weeks episode shares our issues with a trio of cottontail rabbits that have been terrorizing our landscape and what we did to solve the issue. We also complain about the snow and the cold on the farm.... because... it feels good to complain. We quickly throw in a mention of wood shavings and the chicken coop as well. Then in the Veggie Patch we talk about some of the notable varieties of seeds that we purchased this year and where we got them from. Finally in a the prototype hunting / fishing / land management / rural lifestyle segment... Farmer Andy talks a bit about a new part discovery that lets you move a scope and rings between different rifles a lot easier!
