There was a time when farming was the way of life in almost every country across the world. The animals and crops that are raised on farms provide us with the food we eat, we cannot survive without it. We also get other materials from farms like cotton, wool, etc. Farming is still the most important occupation in the world even though the number of families who farm for a living is steadily declining.

With the advent of scientific farming methods and labor saving machinery, farming has become a lot more productive than it used to be before. There's an exponential increase in the yields of some major crops because of the development of improved plant varieties and fertilizers. Animal waste has also increased largely because of caring for them and breeding them in larger quantities. The use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has, however, lessened the need for farm labor.

The single most important factor that affects the quality of the grain, hay and silage on a farm is moisture, according to experts in farming. Because of this, moisture management is a continuous process. This is done by hay moisture testers, which quickly and accurately measure the moisture in the field, bin or storage.

Killing the weeds without killing the crop!
The health of the crops has to be protected from weeds and bugs. Many herbicides and pesticides are available to do this. Among these, the Crossbow herbicide is an excellent product that kills woody brush like blackberry plants; scotch brook and the poison oak. It is the triclopyr ingredient in the herbicide that makes it so effective.

The grass remains safe and only the blackberry plants are killed by the Crossbow herbicide. However, it is a good idea to keep the blackberry plants and spray the herbicide because there will be enough leaf area for herbicide absorption. This will take in enough to kill the root. The best time to spray this chemical is late spring since this is when the plant stems appear fully extended.

Crossbow herbicide is oil based which could be problematic, particularly during warm weather, which causes the herbicide to vaporize and settle on the neighboring plants. One way to get around this is to apply it on a cloudy day to prevent the sensitive plants in the vicinity from overspray.

Buy flax seed, they are good for you.
It is a good idea to buy flax seeds from a farm since they are fresh. From a health point of view, flax seeds and oil of the flax plant are highly recommended. They are rich in Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) belonging to the group of substances called Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential to protect from heart disease. Flaxseed oil is very good for the heart because it is the richest source of ALA. It can also protect against certain cancers in the ground or whole form because of the lignans present in it.
