#TipsForFarmers: Remember that you may need to feed your livestock a little extra during the wintertime. Strive to feed them at night. Feeding farm animals late in the day during the cold will increase heat production during the night by the activity of eating and ruminating.

Livestock heat lamps are commonly used around South Carolina to help farmers keep their animals warm and safe. However, you have to be careful when using them!

Winters are often mild in South Carolina, but it can get extremely cold (under 32 degrees). Having a barn, fabric tent, or another type of shelter can provide your animals necessary shelter from the harsh temperatures. Get ready on time!

Happy Halloween!

Harvesting crops is probably the most popular farm activity in the fall. The important thing to think about is storage needs. There are various ways to store harvested crops- they can be canned, dehydrated, frozen, or can be stored unaltered under the right conditions. Some crops need warm conditions (potatoes, pumpkins) and some cool conditions (cabbage, carrots, onions).

Today is #OldFarmersDay! Tag a farmer and show him/her appreciation. The work these people have put in throughout their lifetime is extraordinary.

"It takes a community to feed a community!" October is recognized as Farm to School Month with the aim to increase the connection across the country between kids, families, and their community food systems.

Are you interested in planting? Here in South Carolina, Fall is the perfect time to start doing so. There are fewer pests and it's still warm, and when it gets a bit cooler it usually comes with the rain. #PlantingTip: Vegetable do very well during this time!

ATTENTION! At this time of the year, farmers across South Carolina are moving tractors and machinery from site to site. Be careful, PATIENT, and thankful! Slow down, keep distance, and pass them when it's safe. Farmers are working hard to feed, clothe, and fuel us all!
