Left- Canada thistle. Oft decried as the ruin of pastures by my stalwart Yankee kin.

Right- I just found this monster and a dozen of his brothers in my lower pasture. Battle is joined. (this thing is nearly 3 ft tall :ep

I don’t know about the scuff up.
He voiced his opinion on Harry and Meghan -- some people were not happy about it hence the scuff up. Agree or not, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Yeah - some may be scripted, though I'm not sure about that, but I truly do like that he is trying to farm. Does he have a gorgeous bank account - hell yes, and any of us would love it - but at least he's farming, listening to his help like Caleb and Charlie and all, he's getting in there down and dirty, and to me shining a light on agriculture.
LOL and I love he calls the sheep - sheeps. :)
And -- I'm really tired of 95% of the shows, movies, etc all being set in the city and about city things.
The world needs to see agriculture - not just plastic wrapped food in the grocery stores!

The new price for OK Brand is $450. Some stores still have the last price of $420. Look at different stores, can do it online.

I want/need the OLD, old price! :old
Tractor Supply will price match to their other stores. Mine says as long as it’s within 50 miles. I get my mini layer pellets for $4 less per bag without having to drive to the further store.

I’m so excited I’m going to post this here first, and then go over to SS and put it on the poultry thread over there!

I’ve been working on a “Purple Egger” project for years. I started with some nice brown eggs that had a purplish bloom on them, and at the time my only rooster was a Penedesenca. I’m not sure which hens laid the purplish eggs, but their offspring laid even better ones. Since then I’ve been using roosters from those breedings or other dark gene roosters such as Penedesenca or Black Copper Marans. And setting the eggs with the best “plum bloom”.

Well last year’s pullets are coming into lay now, and today I got the best “purple” egg ever!! :celebrate:bow:love:weee:clap:jumpy:highfive::yesss:

Not sure what I will do for the next generation, because the only dark egg roosters I have now are siblings to the pullets, and they are all from sibling to sibling breedings. So I am going to have to bring in a rooster from a good egg color breed. I’m leaning towards Brahma or Langshan.
