FARMERS, BACKBONE OF AMERICA - Open Enrollment & Upcoming Events

Thirty day Open enrollment for a farm  joining an Agricultural district in Schoharie County is now effective.  Please see legal notice posted in legal section of Mountain Eagle local paper for official document.

Catch a moment this week and check out the moon.  Today’s moon is more than 90% full and 16 days plus old.  Currently the moon is in a waxing gibbous phase with its illumination shining brightly-waiting for a clear night.  Our farmers focus on late winter preparation, maintenance and preparing for the upcoming planting season.  American Indian tribes often named the full moon, as hunger moon, snow moon, and Eagle Moon, reflecting how hard life was at that time.
