Would fall be the best time to do this? I would think it would be the natural time, just like grasses or other plants going to seed and planting themselves. </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/anyone-know-how-to-grow-fava-beans#post-279 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:56:38 +0000 stevie69 279@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>Well okay, I know how to grow them, plant in dirt then wait to grow. But what I am not certain of is how to harvest them next year when I put out ~10 acres of them. As of this year I am doing a test plot 40x100 ft and the steers love them. Just want to see if anyone has any advice on managing them from planting to harvest. Thanks! </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/the-good-in-economic-crisis-is-#post-275 Tue, 26 May 2009 16:32:20 +0000 susancrowell 275@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>Well, it's easy to get depressed and cynical in the current economic atmosphere.

It started only 4/07/09, so it's still just getting going, but I read that there were more than 100 who participated in some way last week.</p> <p>To participate, be online or on your phone and look for tweets with this hashtag - #agchat. To see the tweets you can use any number of options such as Tweetdeck or basic Twitter search. Just search for that hashtag and you can even scroll back through this week's chat. YOu can also sign into TweetChat (http://tweetchat.com) and use the #agchat search and participate easily that way, too.</p> <p>Even if you don't make it Tuesday nights, you can still use the Twitter search for #agchat and see what was talked about. </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/anyone-for-farm-abcs/page/4#post-259 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:41:01 +0000 BlueEggFarmer 259@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>Narragansett Turkey </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/i-am-you-and-you-are-i#post-258 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:10:39 +0000 Steve 258@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>Correction-Exploit-Oops agin-dagonit! </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/anyone-for-farm-abcs/page/4#post-257 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:20:17 +0000 andreazippay 257@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>Muck boots </p>
