We are on a record pace for the number of times our pen crew staff have taken down and then put back up the pens in one season. It seems like about once a week the pens are taken down (the crew goes into the pens and takes down the 2 X 4 prop posts in the pens, allowing the netting to settle down on top of the cover in the pen).
Once the snow event (or ice event!) has passed, the crews go back out and put the pens back up. This picture here is at our Milton farm. Unlike at our main farm or at our Noss farm, there is a row of trees along one section of pens at the Milton farm. Right next to the trees the snow tends to stick more readily as you can see.
We have heard on the radio yesterday and today that there may be a major snowstorm on it’s way, predicted to hit here Thursday or Friday. Here we go, guys get ready to put the pens down again!
