DOWN ON THE FARM

While we were on the west coast of Florida, riding at Croom, we were invited to see the M&B PRODUCTS Farm. We deliver their milk and juice to the schools.
Joey was so excited to meet a cow. I was fascinated at how Green they were. I knew some of it, but it is different to see it in action. They are so efficient and have just thought about everything when it comes to saving energy or their impact on the environment. I was truly impressed and it was really fun visit. We toured the fields where they grow the corn, the stables where the cows are kept, Where they keep and mix their food, and of course, got to see them getting milked.


Yes, behind Mark in the above picture is a big pile of shit. Well, only the fibrous left over pieces. The "good stuff" gets sprayed on to the fields as fertilizer.
