Nirvana! Tell us about your farm, please?

We have questions!

You breed dogs and beef cattle and grow mint? What else? Any other crops? How many breeds of dogs? Do you have a pig?
Why can you only grow mint for four years -is it crop rotation? Do you then use another field? Or do you only have one field? Are you near South Bend? Did you recover your Paddy o'Furniture? How long is a piece of straw in a haystack?

Inquiring minds are Inquiring.

I would love to see a pic of your mint fields. I can't say as I have ever seen one.

More farm posts would be awesome. I loved those pictures a while back when you got a shipment of some silage or something for the cattle and had huge piles of it you had unloaded from the trucks.

Would love to see some pics of the heelers! That must be the ideal dog for a farm. I would be too lazy to have one!

They are a lot of WORK. Let me tell you. And we don't live on a farm. They need constant attention and exercise. But we love our Boomer.

Thanks, Nirvana. Do the dogs have their own building(s)? How many cattle to you have?

The blue female her name is Stompy and the red male is Suede. Suede is the working dog here on the farm. Stompy has ADD so she mostly runs around and pants.

The picture of Suede is great - He looks so serious!

I was once by the North Judson/Winamac area (an ex had a deer blind out there) - I remember smelling the mint fields!

There's a documentary coming out that talks about the fracing process necessary to get that gas out of the ground in your neck of the woods, Jinx. Apparently it isn't always environmentally friendly, nor a happy thing for those who lease their land to the companies that produce the gas. YMMV, but the movie apparently starts with people lighting their tap water...

Old Nirvana had a farm,
E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm he had some mint,
E-I-E-I-O
With a "SNIFF--That smells good" here
And a SNIFF--That smells good" there
Here a SNIFF, There a SNIFF,
Everywhere a SNIFF SNIFF,
Old Nirvana had a farm,
E-I-E-I-O.
