[GregMVT]

Controller for an enviornmental/liberal arts college so I can afford to raise 4-5 feeder pigs each year and keep our 40 egglayers in the manner they've become used to, and anything we can grow on our 13 acres. This was the first year the old orchard on our property produced any apples, pigs love them, and we invited the farm crew from the college to come over to pick them so they could try out their new cider press.
