You've just got goats for your children as pets, or some chickens and plan to have your own eggs? Do you think your insurance company is okay with you having animals on the property? You get in touch with your insurance agent to double-check your policy.

As spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to conduct a thorough inspection of your farm- outbuildings, livestock shelters, machinery, etc. Make sure everything is in a good condition. If equipment needs repair, you will want to contact an expert quickly as they get very busy later in the spring.

It's time for #FunnyTuesday! Tag a friend with a bad haircut 😂 Have a wonderful rest of the week!

#TipsForFarmers: Remember that you may need to feed your livestock a little extra during the wintertime. Strive to feed them at night. Feeding farm animals late in the day during the cold will increase heat production during the night by the activity of eating and ruminating.

Livestock heat lamps are commonly used around South Carolina to help farmers keep their animals warm and safe. However, you have to be careful when using them!

Winters are often mild in South Carolina, but it can get extremely cold (under 32 degrees). Having a barn, fabric tent, or another type of shelter can provide your animals necessary shelter from the harsh temperatures. Get ready on time!

Happy Halloween!

Harvesting crops is probably the most popular farm activity in the fall. The important thing to think about is storage needs. There are various ways to store harvested crops- they can be canned, dehydrated, frozen, or can be stored unaltered under the right conditions. Some crops need warm conditions (potatoes, pumpkins) and some cool conditions (cabbage, carrots, onions).

Today is #OldFarmersDay! Tag a farmer and show him/her appreciation. The work these people have put in throughout their lifetime is extraordinary.

"It takes a community to feed a community!" October is recognized as Farm to School Month with the aim to increase the connection across the country between kids, families, and their community food systems.

Are you interested in planting? Here in South Carolina, Fall is the perfect time to start doing so. There are fewer pests and it's still warm, and when it gets a bit cooler it usually comes with the rain. #PlantingTip: Vegetable do very well during this time!
