Last week my husband and I attended a grazing and pasture class sponsored by the local extension office in the Ozarks. It was full of information about fencing, feeding and land management for livestock. While the photos look boring, each was a lesson about electric fencing options for goats, horses and cows. We have to put in our own fencing and water for our farm. This class took us on farm tours to show us how the locals around us build it. Being new to all of this we learned a lot about managing our farmland. I am understanding now just how hard it truly to be a farmer. You have to be a vet, guard, plant expert, trainer, handyman and business manager to be a farmer.
