SO we've got 70 acres, 100 or so chickens of different varieties, and we're proabably buying 300 pounds of food every 10 days. We need some ideas.
There's lots of room to roam around in our pecan orchard, but we have a hawk problem. Most of the runs are large and fully covered. Other than harvesting pecans, does anyone know of any easily harvestable crop we can plant to aid in bedding and feed that will reseed itself and grow well in winter or in the shade?
( we're in the south georgia area )
We have a pond and access to plenty of water.
