Alternative Energy dt23101 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ib1m705lrwi9tasw/wish/2023718001 We will be using two types of alternative energy in order to keep out farm running smoothly. It is important to use clean sources of energy on a farm as it saves money and reduces pollution. The first kind of energy we will be utilizing on our farm is windmills. By using these, we can harness the power of the wind and use it as renewable energy. Along with windmills,, we will placing solar panels on lance piece 5. These solar panels will serve a great source of renewable energy along with the windmills. We will put them where we are sure they will get the most amount of sun possible.]]> 2022-02-01 16:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ib1m705lrwi9tasw/wish/2023718001 5.

Marsh in between 1-5 and 5-6 in case the river over flows, the marsh will collect water and prevent water from overflowing onto crops.
2. Windbreakers around windmills so the trees prevent wind interfering with the berries and veggie crops.
3. Selective cutting will be used when an apple tree seems to  be unable to produce apples.
4. Managed grazing: goats and pigs will be transferred to land 4 every 2 years in order to plant native vegetation.
5. Crop rotation will be practiced on lands 3 and 6 with the berries and veggies. This way the nutrients from the different berries and veggies will allow crops grow. ]]> 2022-02-03 15:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ib1m705lrwi9tasw/wish/2027773619 6a. Land gv23026 https://padlet.com/lisle202/ib1m705lrwi9tasw/wish/2028744560 plot 1 - on this land we will have goats and pigs. every two years we will transfer them onto land 4 in order to plant native vegetation to conserve the soil.
plot 2 - will consist of variations of apple trees. We will have  Fuji, granny smith, and golden delicious. We will sell them to local grocery stores.
Plot 3 - Here we will grow strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. These will also be sold to grocery stores.
Plot 4,5,7 - Will have windmills and solar panels as a form of alternative energy.
Plot 6 - we will have many veggies such as potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, and turnips. Once harvested, they will also be shipped to local grocery stores. ]]> 2022-02-04 03:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/ib1m705lrwi9tasw/wish/2028744560 3.
