Friday on the Farm

milkweed is blooming

The milkweed along the rural roadside is blooming. Butterflies and bees will be fluttering and buzzing! Happy pollinators!

 

As conservationists and stewards of our land, we maintain our roadsides. After bird eggs have hatched in the spring, we spray to kill any weeds growing. To provide more wildlife habitat, we do not mow our roadsides.
