Farm Intern week 9 August 2, 2018

August 2, 2018 by virginia.moerbe

Monday evening on the Stiles Farm, I helped AnMarie set out dove traps. We waited for about an hour before we went and checked them, but sadly, we didn’t have any luck trapping anything.

Tuesday afternoon, Ryan and I went to check on the bull that we separated from the herd. When we went to fill up his water tub, we noticed an opossum had fallen in and couldn’t get out. Ryan, who’s much braver than I, reached in and grabbed the opossum out of the water to ensure he didn’t drown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday morning, Ryan, Jimmy, and I moved some of the heifers from the headquarters’ herd into the northwestern pasture. We moved them because they needed to be introduced to a bull, while the one’s we left at headquarters either had a calf or they were close to parturition.    Taylor Burrell

Partnership Opportunities

Stiles Farm can run multiple projects at once thanks to the demonstration and research plot model. If you or your company would like to partner with Stiles Farm, we are looking for partnerships in long term conservation tillage and cover crop research, precision agriculture technologies, innovations in beef cattle production, the economics of small acreage horticulture production in the blacklands, and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) in agriculture production. For partnership ideas, contact Ryan Collett at (512) 898-2214 or rmcollett@ag.tamu.edu.
