Hello BYC folks! I *know* that the easiest answer to most of my problems right now would be to cull my entire flock and start over. However, I have a possible solution, but I need some answers first before I move forward with my plan. Some background: Bought new property in North Georgia...

Hello folks that live in Georgia - I live in NE Georgia and I am looking for a local source of non-GMO barley, BOSS, and/or oat seed to use for sprouting. I feed my animals fodder, and I'm paying too much to have seed shipped. Does anyone know a source - it doesn't need to be certified organic...
