Utah State University Extension provides research-based programs and resources with the goal of improving the lives of individuals, families and communities throughout Utah. USU Extension operates through a cooperative agreement between the United States Department of Agriculture, Utah State University, and county governments. Program areas include:
1) Agriculture and Natural Resources 2) Gardening 3) Home, Family, and Food 4) Utah 4-H and Youth
Founded in 1914 as part of the Smith-Lever Act, USU Extension plays a primary role in helping Utah State University fulfill its land-grant mission. Though more than 100 years old, USU Extension is as vital as ever, and perhaps even more so, due to the increased diversity and complexity of the issues people encounter today. The integration of teaching, research, and public service enables USU Extension to respond to critical and emerging issues with research-based, unbiased information.
I have a question. With cats and dogs, a good thing to do is to crouch down, its basically making yourself smaller and less threatening. Dogs and cats are both predators though and it occurs to me that crouching down might seem like you're getting ready to pounce to a pray animal. So my question is, is crouching down friendly or threatening body language to a horse?
Great, thank you very much. I noticed some blossom end rot on my tomato plants that are near a house wall and don't get rain water because of that. I noticed that the soil is usually dry and like you I have not had a regular watering schedule for those plants. I will now follow your advice and try watering them more frequently.
I'm not a horse expert but my horse in rdr2 is this horse and I must say it looks skinny.... The back legs should be a lot fatter and muscular than this. 😢
Thank you so much for your information. You nailed it you explained it thank you very much you are so sweet you are so sweet. Explaining why it's happening it makes total sense now my soil is so hard I'm going to Water by hand a couple times a week 5 gallon bottle I have straw down I don't think the sprinkler get the soil wet enough
Hopefully this is some encouragement for someone reading this. I moved into a house with a backyard covered in these. Last July, I decided to burn the entire back yard with a propane torch. I had so little grass that it wasn't worth saving. This year, the grass (Bermuda) grew back great in the spring, but quickly went dormant in May, and now the puncture vines are back. So I hand pulled every single one I could find, followed that with 24D, and now a Prowl pre-emergent today. I'd say that now, after about a month of hand pulling over multiple days, that they're under control. New ones sprout up, but that's why I put down the pre-emergent. I'll continue at it with pre-emergent in September, then two or three applications in the spring before they pop up, likely March, April, and Maybe May if I see any sprouting. Follow that with hand picking and 24D again. Best of luck to everyone else!
I know how to get rid of dyer's woad. It involves a t-shirt and a vat of washing soda. Woad is a potent source of indigo dye. I can't believe you're just going to throw that away!!!
wow 5 comments in 8 years. Should have put a women in a bikini on the lead photo. No one seems to care.? I would like to point out the basic attitude 'produce more' as apposed to harvest a higher percent per acre. What farm does not make $1000 an acre. The average man works for less than $300 a day. One man can cover 300 acres a day killing the females as soon as they immerge. No one will work. Get off the couch and go out in the field with a gun. Stop thinking someone or something is going to fix your problems. How is it we eliminated wolves from 48 states and they have the same reproductive rate as the squirrel but no one seems to be able to hurt the squirrels..?. they simply dont put in the effort. When wolves run form my house to the neighbors I call him and he shoots them as I do. here we have one guy making a big effort and 200 acres a way another guy does nothing... everyone is wasting their time.
What year of growth or at what size growth should you relocate the rooted cuttings to a wide open area? I planted 4 poplar sticks close together for easy watering but they are already growing so quickly I wonder if I should have just planted them the full 25 feet apart right away!
Sorry, but I feel that liberty longing is way less challenging to the animal. As soon as she is effectively moving on the line, just get rid of it. No Cavesson, no ropes or bridles or halters...just you and your body language, and your horse getting to understand what you are asking her to do.
Good information, I am happy for the Utah specific information as other folks mention and without realizing it I have been designing a food forrest for my backyard. Thanks for all of the great info!
I respectfully disagree completely, as far as Jicama not tasting like a bean. The first time i ever ate it, my immediate reaction was, how much it tastes like string-bean/green-bean/pea. Sorry to contratict...

I am using a cavesson to lunge and found the end of this video extremely helpful. I am using this method without a bit or bridle and it is going so much better than I had expected. Thank you again for this video!
