Butter Bell Crocks : Welcome to Yoder's Amish Market, Quality: Plain & Simple. Best Coop A Round. Take an old stock tank, 3 aluminum satellite dishes, couple of iron wagon wheels, rear wheel from a riding mower, 2 never flat bicycle wheels, couple of cattle panels, 2 x 4's, welded wire, chicken wire, T-111 siding, styrofoam insulation, discarded commercial gym set (pvc with metal pipe inserts), etc. etc.
After losing 3 different flocks over the past 2 years to raccoons and coyotes on the very nights that I didn't lock the chickens up I knew something different was needed. Also figured into this decision was the fact that by mid-summer the entire garden pen area (about 2000 sq. ft.) was cleaned of any vegetation that was eatable. A mobile enclosed coop and run seemed to be the answer. I used the stock tank in this configuration (first picture) last year for baby chicks so decided to re-build this. Removed and replaced the wall studs with longer studs allowing me to stand up inside the coop.

On Sept. 15, 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture authorized up to $20 million in assistance to administer a 2009 Aquaculture Grant Program (AGP). Through the 2009 program, the Farm Service Agency will provide grants to state governments to assist eligible aquaculture producers who suffered losses associated with high feed input costs during the 2009 calendar year. State grant amounts are based on the amount of aquaculture feed used in each state during the 2003 through 2007 calendar years.
For 2009, $18.5 million will be allocated to states that participated in the 2008 Aquaculture Grant Program authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The funds will be allocated in a pro-rata basis, based on the total amount of 2008 Aquaculture Grant Program benefits that would have been paid to eligible aquaculture producers in the state.

"Farmscaping" is a holistic approach to pest control on farms that focuses on increasing biodiversity in order to maintain healthy populations of beneficial insects, birds, bats, and other wildlife as part of an ecological pest management program.
Farmscaping often treats beneficial wildlife as a kind of "minature livestock" that must be managed and provided for for just like cows, sheep, chickens, and other farm animals. Farmscapers use observation and science to plan hedgerows, flower beds, cover crops, and water reservoirs to favor beneficial wildlife over pests. Benefits of Farmscaping Farmscaping reduces the need for pesticides, lowering costs and reducing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals by farmworkers and consumers.

The Family Farm Is Being Systematically Wiped Out Of Existence In America. An entire way of life is rapidly dying right in front of our eyes.
The family farm is being systematically wiped out of existence in America, and big agribusiness and the federal government both have blood all over their hands. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of farms in the United States has fallen from about 6.8 million in 1935 to only about 2 million today. That doesn't mean that there is less farming going on. U.S. farms are producing more than ever.
