Shut down.
This year is a month earlier than last year.
Last year was much earlier than before.
We got to move pipe once. The wheel line ran for 10 minutes before we got shut down. Hopefully this be crop will survive.
Last year we grazed 25 head of cattle from June to August. The same field held 50+ for a month longer the previous year.
We are a insignificant tiny 70 acre farm in south east Idaho.

The two things I want to say:

One.
We could have claimed we didn't check, we could have watered and said we didn't know, at least getting the single field watered once. But that isn't OK with my soul. My son was there by my side for hours moving pipe. He's watching my example and the example he needs to see is that if or time is up, we turn off and get in our knees instead. We gave the field to the lord today.

Two.
You live in the city and are SO incredibly out of touch with agriculture. Not even out of touch, the knowledge you should have is BROKEN.

You think using AI is so great.
A data center has now been approved with an hour of us. This effects multiple states and generations far more than you know.
Yes, AI has a significant and growing negative impact on the environment. Not just high energy consumption and massive water usage for cooling data centers, thats just the tip of the iceberg.

My rainbow connection.

I had dear friends bring down SO many beautiful things fresh from the farm to Utah Valley and my super amazing Dad took it down to to stock you guys up for a fresh week of beautiful beeswax.

Thank you to all those who have supported this amazing market ( not just us, there are many amazing vendors there) but especially to my family, team and neighbors who all make this possible.

Coming next week!
We will open our nursery starting next week. Most of it depends on getting the barn painted and the ground leveled and rock put in.

We will have so many starts, trees, shrubs, perennials, flowers, herbs, grasses and more.

And to boot it'll be organic and pretty much be the best price in the area.

This is higher on my priority list than you would think.
