Some calves are hogs. Seriously. I can prove it with video showing a Missouri calf who hogs the cow sprinkler all to herself. Her name is Loona and Loona doesn't share. At all.
When you live in the rural areas of Missouri and have livestock, you know dealing with predators is a reality. That became even more real for a Missouri farmer recently who shared video of a bobcat who made off with one of his chickens.
Most of us that grew up either on or near a farm have heard stories passed down that claim you can fix some basic engine problems with regular food items. Eggs, bread and even tobacco have been mentioned in the repair of radiators, etc. One YouTuber decided to put those old farmer's tales to the test.
It's no secret that farming is a way of life in our part of America. That's true even on a golf green as a new video proved showing a true Illinois genius who sank a putt with his tractor.
If you enjoy fresh produce as much as I do, you'll want to circle the last weekend in April on your calendar as that will mark the beginning of another season of the Hannibal Farmer's Market in Central Park.
I'm sure you try to concentrate at your job (if not, let's pretend), but I doubt you have ever focused as hard as a border collie who just gave a master class on how to herd ducks.
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure this is how the movie "The Terminator" began. There is now technology that will allow you to control your tractor with your phone. Where's John Connor when you need him?
If you live in Illinois or Missouri, this is just one of the many things that can happen during your morning commute. A lone cow who got loose put a stop to vehicles recently because he/she can.
Illinois is filled with farms and farmland but according to a website's rankings you actually should avoid starting a farm in the Land of Lincoln, but why?
