This Mama goose has been patiently waiting on this clutch of eggs for days now. Geese are VERY protective of their eggs and will certainly hiss and bite you if you get too close! So … we will keep our distance and patiently wait for goslings. Hopefully we have a photo of that soon.
Isn’t it amazing how well she blends in with her surroundings? Nature is amazing!
Recently, we bought 100 chickens. Now these little chickens, for a short time fit very easily into two paper boxes.
After they were delivered we transferred them into a stock tank with heating lamps over the top which they soon outgrew.

As a kid, the summer time meant lots of chores and busy days filled with changing water on crops and keeping an eye on the sprinkler. The sprinkler had to be adjusted, stopped and started manually. I would take turns with dad in the middle of the night, jumping on the 4 wheeler and changing water to make sure that our sprinkler didn’t run across the highway. Now, with the advancements in technology farming has become just as sophisticated as any other technological job out there. You can monitor sprinklers from the comfort of your home, you can program your tractor to drive in a straight line while applying an exact amount of fertilizer per square foot.

After a beautiful day of heavy snow the sun has finally peeked through at May Farms and we are enjoying the pristine landscape. Soon we will pull out or tractors and start plowing the driveways and parking lot. There is something about untouched snow that is peaceful.
We get a lot of questions about organic farming from visitors through out the year. As May Farms uses a variety of sustainable farming practices we are not organic farmers. It is refreshing to know that 99% of farmers say that protecting the environment is a good goal to practice. We feel as stewards of the land it is our responsibility to use as many farming practices as we can to help conserve the land, water and other resources at May Farms.
Big news today for the CSU Agricultural Education Program! Four of Colorado’s top agricultural lenders have joined together to donate more than $1 million for construction of a modern Center for Agricultural Education at CSU that will train new generations of agricultural teachers and leaders. The May Family has had 4 children attend CSU, two of which graduated with Agricultural degrees. As farmers with concern for the future of our industry, we are excited to see this new “Center for Agricultural Education” gain support as the need to properly educated and arm our future leaders is huge.
Thank you for your commitment to Agriculture!
