Annual temperature mw21262 https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/436443381 Summer months good to farm. The seasonal weather will make it harder to farm during winter months. Warm years, summer is especially good for farming, not many hot months. Cold years, are especial bad the winters are harsh making the soil unsuitable for crops. ]]> 2020-01-27 15:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/436443381 3-4.)

Types of crops/animals am21136 https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/436452061 Crops are:
1.) Flax-seeds-Sell shortly after harvest.
2.) Wheat-Sell, left wheat we give to livestock.
3.) Hay-We use hay to feed animals, and crop cover.
4.) Rye-Cover crop, used for flour, bread. We sell the rest.
5.) Corn For Grain-Feed livestock, turn into corn oil, syrup and more. Mainly human consumption products.
6.) Oats-Main crop export.
Animals are:
1.) Cows-We let the cows out to graze and we use the manure as fertilizer.
2.) Pigs-helps fertilize soil, helps with disposal.
3.) Bison-Letting them graze in sections to maintain healthy amounts of nutrients and healthy grasses.]]> 2020-01-27 15:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/436452061 6.) Soil erosion prevention am21136 https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/436453472 1.) Ground cover-Nets with wood chips/hay to stop the movement of the soil. 
2.) Planting Native Crops-In order for the soil to be conserved we chose native crops to plant like oats, rye, and flax-seeds.
3.) Windbreaks- Trees to protect from harsh winds and wind erosion
4.) Selective Cutting-Cutting down trees that are older keeping younger trees to keep the soil from uplifting.
5.)Mulch-Used on every field to increase fertility of soil and to increase the cover on the soil to decrease soil runoff.]]> 2020-01-27 15:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/436453472 5.) Farm buildings am21136 https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/437004246 1.)Butcher Farm-Place we kill and package the livestock to sell.
2.)Cow pen-Cows are put here when not grazing.
3.)Bison pen-Bison are placed here when not grazing.
4.)Pig pen-Pigs live and eat here
5.)Farmhouse-The living area, farther away from the other buildings.
6.)Silos-To hold the crops so they do not get wet. Large storage.]]> 2020-01-28 15:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/437004246 7.) Water Retention Basin am21136 https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/437594349 We place our water basin near five of our crops as the other crops will be supported by the river if needed. We run a irrigation system from the water basin to our crops. We places our basin here in case of heavy rains we want to make sure our crops are safe and the water has a place to go.]]> 2020-01-29 15:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/437594349 1.)

How could alternative energy be incorporated to help your farm function? am21136 https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/438784680 1.) Water Turbine-Water from the river flows our water turbine spins powering a generator. 
2.) Wind Turbine-Wind spins the turbine powering a generator this is how we power the lights for the  animal pens. ]]> 2020-01-31 15:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/6exraqhb7df3/wish/438784680
