Preparing Your Farm for Fall

Take Care of Your Harvest

You’ve probably got plenty of crops to harvest so you’ll want to ensure that whatever you plan to use on the farm is preserved properly for the winter months. Luckily for you, it’s now much easier can and preserve fruits and vegetables. Instead of canning them to use in winter, you can also freeze-cut fruits and vegetables. Fall is also an excellent time to think about some meals to prepare during the winter so that you can have a ready stock of dry goods and staple foods.

Prepare for the Cold Weather

During the winter, the snow can present serious challenges when it comes to taking care of your livestock or even leaving your farm to get food and other daily supplies. Look around your farm and clear away as many large obstacles as you can find, like rocks and sticks. After all, these things can make it tough to clear snow later on if you don’t remove them in the fall season.

This is also a good time to go out and repair the broken posts of your fence before the cold hits. Ride or walk around your property and make a list of any fence repairs you need to make and the supplies you’ll need like extra wood and barbed wire.

You’ll also want to keep some snow shovels on your porch or in your garage so that you can clear the walkways around your house and barn. However, if you have got a large property, you may want to consider some more powerful options, such as snow blowers for winter snow removal.

Hopefully, these tips should help you make sure that your farm is ready for fall.
