Is there any good biodegradable twine I could use in my Vermeer 605n?

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture in 2022. Finding a job related to my field in the Philippines has been challenging. Fortunately, through a friend's recommendation, I secured a position on her uncle's farm shortly after graduation. I've been working there for nearly two years now. While I am grateful for this opportunity, I am eager to further develop my skills and knowledge and seek positions that offer better compensation and benefits. However, my attempts to find other agriculture-related jobs have been unsuccessful due to the common requirement of at least five years of experience, even for entry-level positions. Additionally, transitioning to a different career has proven difficult. Despite having experience working with an Australian client, I have not successfully secured virtual freelance jobs.

I am looking for a wedding venue name. It is a farm built, passed down through generation farm with wild flower fields at the back of property. 2 locations for wedding ceremony, one located by wildflower fields and one located in a rustic old pull door barn with three stories. It has two silos which have been remodeled into a his and hers getting ready rooms. Any help is appreciated! Message me if you need more details. Location is right by Indiana/Ohio border

Does anyone use a website for their farm? I can’t decide between Shopify, squarespace, square, or Wordpress. We do pastured meat birds offer cut ups. I want to enable customers to order and pay ahead f time and know pick up locations. Maybe offer delivery. I’d also love to have a recipe blog side too.

Anyone know of anything that checks these boxes? Thanks.

Just moved to 4 acres and I wanna get a mini cow. I found what looks to be a great breeder. I am in Michigan. What type of fence and shelter would you suggest all advice is welcome!

I have never owned farm animals so I am a novice

I saw a video on how the actual tool works but they put a lot of pulling force on the cutters and it didn't look too painless like they said. I have these nice fancy wire cutters and was wondering, would wire cutters cut the backing part of the tag off?

We live in Northern Ireland and we cannot work out which breed these cows are. Anyone know?

Hello Reddit!

I am wondering what the fine people of r/farming recommend for the amount of time between fertilizing and haying grass. I am a one-man-band and I fell behind a couple weeks after first cut hay. We still have another 2-3 weeks before 2nd cut (horse) hay is going to be taken. Would everyone plan to fertilize still? Or is there issues with plant development/nitrates that I might rather avoid?

Thanks in advance!

Hello fine people of reddit,

I have recently been given a small lawn type tractor with no attachments or bucket. And they are like good used car expensive. For a tool that does one thing. I watched some YouTube videos about it but it seemed more like a sales pitch than actual information. Then I looked at big boy mega tractors. How can they cost a quarter million or more? I mostly mean the actual value of the materials its made from. It looks like mostly Steel, rubber, wires, and plastic. Is there some crazy exotic materials or components needed to complete these things im missing. Even the big tires are 100k... for rubber...

Seems like a mafia pyramid sceme. is it like diamonds? Do they want to keep the tractors that are available way below the demand so prices stay high? Or are the manufacturers holding thier customers hostage because they have little to no competition to challenge their prices?

It looks real predatory on the manufacturers side.

Kinda of a salvage operation after many delays, heat wave, distractions… I got 30 bales late this evening after getting this hack job together.

I live on a cattle farm and we typically do beef cattle. We have one gernsey in the herd, and she produces more milk than can be drank by the calves. We often have to milk her down because of this and recently got a milker, but when we tried to use it today it was a disaster. She was already in a bad mood, the hoses werent keeping suction, her bag is so low that the milkers manifold (i dont know if its actually called that but the part that combines the four hoses into one larger hose) hangs onto the ground so that somebody needs to hold it in case she moves. I know we need to learn and get into a rhythm of things, but if there is a trick or better way im open to hearing it

So I recently got offered a job from my husband's boss to cook for everyone during fall Harvest (4-6 men with hefty appetites) and while I'm used to cooking family style there are a few things im running into. So, I'll have to cook at home and bring it to the field, his boss will be giving me a grocery card but I want to be frugal with his money, and it's for around six weeks and I don't want to repeat recipes more than once a week. So I guess my questions are, how do I cook for a crowd on a budget with out repeating recipes too often? And what would you like to see on the table for lunch/dinner during fall wheat harvest?

I've already thought of chili with cornbread and hot sandwiches but that's about all I could think up. Thanks in advance for your help!

Howdy! One of our family chickens seems to be having some eye issues. Both her eyes are swelling up to the point she can't see, she spent all day on her roost.

Anyways we can help her or figure out what's wrong?

Someone is selling 5 bags of 919 alfalfa seed for $175 each, is this fair? I can't find the price per bag from the dealer so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks

Not sure if this is an issue or should I put right back together? Output shaft snapped off.

I've always had a fascination with farms since I partially grew up on one with my dad when I was younger. As of recently I have been doing as much research as possible and am ready to leave my city behind but I cant seem to find entry level farms/ farm work. I am 21 and living on the southeast coast and I would prefer to stay along the east coast for the time being. I am also perfectly fine with not being paid a lot but would definitely need room and board. If anyone has any idea about programs I should look into to start this process please shoot them my way !

Work boots

Hello, I’m a 35 year old male who has a no till market farm. I’m consistently wearing out my boots after 6 months to a year doing lots of shoveling, walking 20k steps a day and squatting tons. Anyone have any suggestions? Looking for some more flexible probably than the normal hiking/work boots I’ve been getting. I have been buying from REI which has a year long warranty so I’ve been basically exchanging my boots. Although good financially I’d live to find some boots I could trust more and get more time out of

This being pants or even overalls that dry fast or are water repellant, not so worried about over shirts but any recommendations will do. I can sometimes be in some pretty jungly fields cutting stuff down as well as just getting drenched from picking specific trees or plants. Looking for any pointers.

Cleaned up a property for a dead farmer, we went to make sure nothing was in this tank. Sure was something in it cause that black stuff started spewing out. Real pungent smell that’d burn your nose if you stood too close. Is this gonna mess me up or is it fine

So far I'm seeing 85¢ and expecting to see it drop.

So supposedly theres this big job opportunity in farm work that americans dont want to do. How does an american get in on this action? How do we get farm work? There's only skilled farming jobs on indeed or any of the government based ponzi services for migrant farm workers as far as i can find. Total mistery. Should i just go door to door and ask?

Hi, everyone! I'm a Software Engineer who is fascinated by agriculture and has tremendous respect for Farmers.

I'm hoping we can brainstorm problems or sub-optimal processes which computer technology (e.g. automation, IoT sensors, web applications, data aggregation and reporting) might be able to solve or improve.
