Goats as land clearers; Joyce Coomer enthusiastic about idea

Goats are another environmentally friendly alternative to herbicides
Click on headline for complete commentary

By Joyce Coomer

I've told Greg a few times that we need goats or sheep in the yard so we won't have to mow!!! Where we are and the way our farm lies, goats might stay around without our having to do any additional fencing, especially as most any animal running loose tends to head in our direction to start with . . .

The Whitehurst Diaries: Days of Dreary Weather

Sharon Whitehurst details the winter's freeze on her plants, and discovered some disheartening details. This one is different, 'We store up the comments of long-time residents who nod wisely and assure us that this is how winters used to be in south-central Kentucky. But, she notes, 'Gardeners are a determined lot; even as we mourn our losses the mind jumps ahead to replanting.' - CM

I've been reluctant to record the damages done by the freezing weather in early January, but it appears that some of the effects may be with us more or less permanently.

Magnolia trees, we've been assured, are at their northern-most range here in south-central Kentucky.

Jon Halsey with Tractor Man supporting Joyce Coomer idea

Likes buffer zone along stream banks, but newest member of The Movement doubts there's connection between the EPA and "needs to return to a more logical mind-set"

Jon Halsey writes:
I second "The Tractor Man's" endorsement of Joyce Coomer's suggestion regarding the buffer zone. However, I also think that the connection between "EPA" and "needs to return to a more logical mind-set" falls into that area of modal logic defined as an impossibility.

Conscientous landowners can clean up woodlots with goats

Goats are easier on trees, and will even eat, multiflora rose, honeysuckle vines and poison ivy . . . and can navigate terrain where cattle fear to tread - DR

By Donna Rieder

Conscientious landowners who want to clean up their woodlots without the damage that cattle can inflict, should consider goats. Due to their smaller size, they're easier on the trees, and they will eat the stuff cattle turn their noses up at, like multiflora rose, honeysuckle vines and poison ivy. They can also easily navigate terrain where cattle fear to tread, like rocky cliffs and ravines. Just adding two strands of electric wire inside an existing barbed-wire fence, will contain most goats. Likewise, co-grazing goats with cattle will show an increase in pasture grasses and a decrease in noxious weeds, as goats actually prefer to eat the weeds and brush that cattle won't touch. - Donna Rieder

If others wanted PVA job, they should have filed to run

' . . . I'm sure Jeff will follow and do the same great work as Junior and Donna have done. - RRW

By Ralph Roy Waggener

Personal Commentary

Junior and Donna Feese are good friends of mine and I'll support whatever ether does as honest and truthful. If Paul Turner or Brandon Thompson had wanted to be elected as Adair County's PVA, then they should have filed to run. Don't blame Jr. for pulling out and his son Jeff filing at the last moment; they had a chance to file any time before the dead line but didn't.

It's good to know that both went to take this very hard test to qualify to run for this office. Several people took the test and did not pass it and that says a lot for Brandon or Paul, but they should have filed before the deadline if they wanted the job.

Of course Donna will have to campaign for Jeff as everyone knows she was why Junior Feese was elected - at least I've all ways told Junior that. This is a good Adair family and Jeff Feese will do a great job just as his dad Junior has done.

Junior Feese was responsible for changing the way a lot of PVA offices all around Kentucky are run; he is good a whatever he does and I'm sure Jeff will follow and do the same great work as Junior and Donna have done; now if we can change Jeff to a Wild Cat Fan and not that southern Indiana school called U of L fan, I believe he will do a great job. Yours truly. - Ralph Roy Waggener

Travel: Salt supply - A trending topic this week

The District 4 Status: New supplies are coming in, but there is a need to use is wisely as demand skyrockets and reserves used statewide decrease rapidly.

By Chris Jessie, Public Information Officer
KY Transportation Cabinet, District 4, Elizabethtown, KY

ELIZABETHTOWN, KY (February 7, 2014) - District 4 counties do have salt. We are receiving already purchased stock from our reserve supply out of Louisville and we have been purchasing new stock all along, so we are seeing new supply trickle in. All that being said, it is becoming more difficult to get new orders as demand skyrockets and reserves (used statewide) decrease rapidly. We are using our supply wisely.

50 foot natural buffer zone along streams is great idea

It's one Joyce Coomer has offer the EPA; all they have to do is act

Charles Marshburn writes:
That is a marvelous idea Joyce Coomer had about the 50 foot natural buffer zone between any waterway and farming activity. Wildlife could certainly use that space and it would help with erosion and polution from livestock. --Charles Marshburn

Joyce Coomer: Cows need shade

'Cattle need shade in the summer so they won't get overheated. I pity the poor cows that I see standing as close as they can to any tree they can find, no matter the size. It shows a farmer's total lack of concern for the welfare of his cattle when a dozen cows are trying to crowd under a 15' or shorter tree in the fence along the parkway.' - JOYCE COOMER

By Joyce Coomer

I agree with Billy Joe Fudge that cattle can be extremely destructive to a woodland. I've often said that if you bought a tract of woods and wanted it cleaned up, but didn't want to incur the expense of hiring dozing done or didn't want larger trees damaged or cut, just fence it in, put in about twice the number of cattle per acre that is recommended for good pastureland, and in about a week -two at the most, nearly everything smaller than 6" in diameter would be eaten or trampled, then you could see how many large trees are left and plan your building and landscaping needs at that point.

Forester gives pros, cons to using trees for fence posts

It's true mortality rate is not increased for trees with fences attached - except for lightning - but value of tree as time is diminished. A more serious threat to tree health is cattle
Comments re article 65112 Joyce Coomer On Fencing There is also an issue of money

By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester
Kentucky Division of Forestry

Concerning the nailing of wire to trees, Joyce is correct in that almost a hundred percent of the time wire being attached to trees will not cause them to become sick or die prematurely with the one exception of a lightning strike on a tree that might run the wire and damage additional trees that otherwise might have been outside the "ground-zero" strike zone.

Jana Esch sends reports from FROZEN NORTH

Click on headline for accompanying photo(s)

By Jana Esch

My family lives in Northern Indiana and we have been comparing each of our record setting winters with comments and pictures. My sister lives in Fort Wayne and reported getting 9.6 inches of snow this past Tuesday and Wednesday to add to what they already had. I sent her the photo captured "FROM THE FROZEN NORTH". Here is Soni's response:

"This picture is our patio. IT IS IN A PROTECTED AREA! It's exactly how the snow fell, Jeff has not piled it up here. I took this shot because I could take it by leaning out the door quickly. It's only 9* out there now."
And here's a response from our friend Chuck who lives west of Fort Wayne: "lol. Chicago blizzard? I'm looking at 5 feet of snow drifted against the side of my barn and drifts over the bottoms of my house windows. This tells me you have been in Kentucky too long . . . Smile"
Definitions of weather conditions very greatly according to what area you live in!
