Farm website redesign

I've made a small redesign to our farm website, www.gilmerdairyfarm.com . All I lack is updating some of the Edopt-a-Cow profile pages.

Spring Forages

We took a closer look at all of our spring forages this week and have a pretty good idea of when we'll be harvesting them. First up will be the 10 acres of lupin and wheat we have planted, as well as one 8 acre field of Marshall ryegrass. If the weather permits, I think we'll be harvesting these two spots next week. We'll use a cutter/conditioner and drop it into a row, let it sit a day or two, and then green bale it and wrap each bale in silage plastic.
