From @ludwig_farm:

"Here are a couple of fun facts about chickens!

1. Chickens can recognize over 100 faces. Not only can they remember human faces, but also other animals as well.
2. They have better color vision than humans.
3. They dream while they sleep. Just like humans, chickens have a REM phase while they are sleeping.
4. You can determine a chicken’s egg color by its earlobe. This is also determine by the hen’s breed.
5. Chickens can run up to 9 mph. Their speed and agility helps keep them safe from predators.
6. Chickens are related to dinosaurs. They are the closest living relative to the T. Rex!"

The apprentices were able to tour various fields, learning about rotational grazing and its impacts on soil diversity and health.

Thanks to Duane and Paula Thompson for hosting a lunch and an incredible tour! 🌻🌱🐝

Are you interested in hosting an apprentice on your farm? The Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program is now accepting applications for host farm mentors!⁠

The host farms in the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship Program are farmers who are passionate about passing along their knowledge to the next generation of growers. They are considered mentors who guide the apprentices every step of the way, but also know when to let them work independently. Professional trainer, teacher, employer, direct supervisor, and at times, personal life coach - these are just some of the many hats they get to wear. ⁠
