Geek.Farm.Life

Welcome to another show! It’s spring time, so if you were worried there wouldn’t be enough to talk about, stop worrying! The round up section this week takes a while to go through, but I think you’ll find we talk a bit more in depth about some things. Maybe it’ll give you to start your seedlings if you haven’t already! In the show:

• Thank you to Tom and flies!
• Two great farm phone questions! 206-202-GOAT is the number to call
• Round up! From Kids to the garden to bees we cover a lot of things
• Farm Section: Brood boxes and starting day old birds
• No life section this week!

We love your calls to the Farm Phone at 206-202-GOAT, or you can email us at gfl@geekfarmlife.com!

Barncast 57 is all ready to go, but libsyn thinks we’re over quota. I can’t get the numbers to add up, but as soon as they fix it we’ll be up and ready to do.

Well there’s been some changes since last week. There’s new voices to add to the show, 6 actually! You can hear at least 4 during the show. The ending this week is a little abrupt. After the mixer’s batteries die the batteries on the mp3 recorded died. That brings the show to a rather abrupt end. We were going long anyways, so you must have been saved by the equipment. In the show:

1. Welcome and, talk about what’s new and show 55b
2. Farm Phone! 206-202-GOAT. Sorry India, you’ll be on next week
3. Round up: Goose trouble, rabbits, etc
4. Farm Section: Prep and delivery of kids and lambs
5. Show ends due to power failure

We love your comments and questions, please email them to gfl@geekfarmlife.com or call the Farm Phone at 206-202-GOAT.
