Granby 4-H is FUN!

Hi! My name is Luke Osowiecki and I am a member of Granby 4-H. This is my third year in 4-H. I have learned a lot in 4-H, like how to make cheese, how to take better pictures and how to show my dog.

In late summer Sirius the Dog Star, part of the constellation Canis Major, can be seen in the night sky. Its presence gives the name to what’s traditionally the most uncomfortable part of the season.

Ask your Friendly Farmer

Dear Friendly Farmer,
My daughter has a pet rabbit and we like to feed it a little hay from time to time. Since we only need a little bit at a time, I usually just buy a bale at my local feed store, but the last time I went, hay DOUBLED in price! What gives? Can I get it cheaper from a local farmer?
Signed,
Hay Now
