[Ag-eq] Farm Bureau and Young Farmers

[Susan Roe]

We belong to the farm bureau.   The three of us have taken "on the farm" 
classes reference micro goat dairy and goat cheese making.  Also, I am set 
up with LocalHarvest.com for 50 miles around our zip code reference local 
harvest registered farms or growing interests.  They supply me with local 
events open to the public reference their products, classes and information 
on how they produce their items.  You can set this up for your own zip code 
area as well.  I was surprised to see farms and other interests that were 
around me that I had never heard of before.  We have often considered 
connecting with our local 4-h or FFA for land use.  This would have to be 
agreed upon by my cousin, my sister and myself and my cousin is not too 
conducive to having outsiders on the property.  He is really concerned about 
the liability issues.  That is why he has stopped the outside farming and 
all but 1 person hunting on the property.

I hope we can work something out soon because so much has already grown up 
over the previous large fields and pastures that we are going to have to get 
a front end loader to start taking out new growth trees.
