Army worms are marching in...

Grey moths have been seen in the grasses at Heritage so when that happens in the Fall of the year, it means army worms are marching in! To control these bad bugs, EVERY blade of grass on the lawns and fields have been cut to eliminate their egg hatcheries. Also, our farmer will put out soldier bugs which are insects that destroy the army worms.

Also, thought we would share, Shirley's great-grandsons came out to the farm Friday to visit and boy did they have fun. They are absolutely fascinated by the farm, the machines, and how all of it "works."

Hope you all have a great week!

The Judge

 Well, it looks like one of our hens might have turned out to be an Aracuna rooster. We have nicknamed him "The Judge." He seems quite gentle and provides as a protector to the hens. He herds the girls into the henhouse when he hears a hawk approaching. We should start seeing beautiful colored eggs from these girls in about another month!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
