THE FURROW: The online newsletter of Howell Living History Farm

Fertile Work

Take a walk down to the Howell Farm barnyard and something is much different than it was last week. Last week, and especially two weeks ago, you would have noted an enormous pile of manure behind the barn. Today, the manure pile is just a shadow of its former self, a smallish heap.

Farmer Ian and Intern Virginia deserve most of the credit for putting in long days of manure spreading, although many others pitched in (quite literally). After the last load was finally forked into the manure spreader on Saturday and then dispersed across the crop fields, Intern Virginia reports feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
