Green Themes in Agricultural Equipment and Supplies

Hi and welcome to my blog. My name is Jenny, and although I have lived around farms for my entire life, I have only been studying the environment and how to be environmentally friendly for the last few years. The more I learned about "being green", the more I became interested in how those concepts could be applied to the farms I had grown up around. This blog reconciles those two ideas. It looks at farming practices, equipment and supplies though the lenses of being green. Whether you are a farmer or some who gardens as a hobby, I hope that you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy writing it. I hope it helps you and your farm to become more environmentally friendly.
