I think that storing grain using dry ice, CO2, is the easiest method to preserve wheat. I have stored 4 or 5 sacks of grain by myself but it’s easier with two or more people working together.

Sometimes, your wheat may need to be checked for moisture content. On a hot sunny day you can dry your wheat.

Milking goats for fresh milk daily

Posted by Hank in Farmyard animals

You can keep and milk a goat in some cities, depending upon the type of city.

Goats need space and daily exercise. They are wonderful pets. I think its a bit like taking on another child in the family, as they are dependent and demand attention when they need it.

We took our dairy goat with us on holiday to Ohope beach, Whakatane.
