Reblogged from thekitchensgarden:
Yesterday as I walked about in the heat with my hose making sure animals had water to stand in and cold water in their troughs I began to wonder about how much water I was using. How much water is needed to run a sustainable, organic farmy.
So I did a little research.
Daisy (milking dairy cow) will consume between 30 and 40 gallons of water a day.
A worthy read. J
Excellent read, Jules. Very informative, and some good knowledge to have on hand when the yuppies start berating me for not buying organic.
