We wait and combine trips, and only go town when we really need to.
We buy in bulk, and keep a lot of food in the deep freeze.
In our case we can run a deep freeze for a long time for what one trip to town cost us.
We have switched our cattle operation to grass fed and are working to minimize the hauling of big bales of hay by moving the cows to the hay, not the hay to the cows (energy intensive).
Each step is a huge one for husband because he was raised with traditional farming methods. We are fencing cattle away from ponds and woods to prevent erosion and destruction of wildlife habitat.
We are building wildlife habitats, and are working with Missouri Ag. Dept. on a program to restore habitat and prevent soil erosion.
