Yesterday a tractor trailer was blown off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, winds were gusting to 45 mph, snow fell. The water here was churned to the horizon. This morning it is like a millpond. Another day.
I’ve spent days this summer watering 398 whips, little trees, in the Tidewater. I made a moveable drip irrigation rig. Watered every two weeks. Nature is doing the work for me this week. Graph courtesy wunderground
Is it good for dairy and beef cattle to have shade? Farmers actually debate this question. The farmers are looking at the bottom line, a totally anthropocentric point of view. Does a hot cow gain as much weight/produce as much milk as a cool cow? Lets chain some farmers in the full sun, see if that helps them answer the question.
