Love your farmer knowledge!



Hey friends!

we wanted to pass along some interesting facts about farming in the US and VA!

*farms cover nearly 1/3 of the land in Virginia and much of our farmland is covered with hay
*it takes 60 cotton bolls to make a t-shirt or 180 bolls to make a pair of jeans...so you are most likely wearing 240 bolls of cotton right now!
*approximately 540 peanuts are processed to produce a single 12 ounce jar of peanut butter
*cows drink 30 gallons of water and give 6 gallons of milk everyday!
*100 tomatoes will yield four, 14 ounce bottles of ketchup
*chickens can run 9 miles an hour!
