state registration

Registered the farm name officially for the second time. 3 weeks in the paper for $75 and we submit certificate from paper after that and it will be legal. 815-772-7244 OR (FAX)4105 for the Whiteside News-Sentinel, Sue R. Patten sentinel@whitesidesentinel.com.

Tried to merge the CRP & take Barry's name as renter off.

Tammy at the CRP office took the twins to see the collection of stuffed birds and photos. I said I'd forward a photo when we get one.,.. tammy.houzenga@il.nacdnet.net

She recommended Greg Clark at the extension office 772-2016 to ask about bee hive registration. He said the form is online with the state dept of agriculture... so mant offices.

friend of Alan's from Meiner's who agreed to look at the goats & give advice. Said worm 'em monthly with diatomaceous earth & keep 'em away from buildings and feed AD&E vitamin whenever they seem to need help, plus kelp to increase their appetite.

Also recommended sheep crosses & agreed to take the roosters to auction.
