Around the time I moved to a farm, I sold the firm to an employee for a nominal fee, she ran it for another year, and then shut it down. As per the sale agreement, when it did shut down, I ended up with most of the DVDs. So now, on the far

This is funny ; I moved from the Cambridge MA area to a 50 acre farm in rural NH a year ago. I could identify the brand of tractor and livestock nipples from the pictures. Everything in this article is 100% accurate, based on my own experie
