[Ag-eq] My poor greenhouse

[Zach Mason]

Sorry to hear everyone's problems. I can't report any major issues that
don't take place on a day-to-day basis except two waterers freezing. The
funny part is that they froze on the warmest of the past three days. 

Unfortunately we had a cow abort, a good cow, and this is her second failure
to deliver live offspring. The beef price is high right now, so even though
we need more cows milking to pay the bills, we just can't justify keeping
the slackers and problems. If I had real intentions to stay farming here,
I'd be building a new breeding barn for heifers and learning artificial
insemination. 

Sorry everyone's glum, but look at the bright side! The days are getting
longer! Planting season's around the corner! 

Zac

We don't get the extremes of temperature that you do in the States.
The closest to them and that is not that close is in Central Otago.  The
village of Ofir is reputed 
to have the lowest winter temperatures.  Its record, I believe, is 21
degrees  of frost, and that, 
again I believe was in the days of Fahrenheit when 21 degrees of frost still
was a balmy 11 dgF.
I have heard that 49 of the 50 states, Arizona, being the exception, is
experiencing the coldest 
winter for decades.
