How to Keep Your Animal Waterers From Freezing (new invention)!
We had the pleasure of trying out a new invention made right here in Iowa just for our farm! Lets just say it did not disappoint. The amount of time that this invention saved us on not having frozen waterers was priceless and it was made by a local Iowan inventor. We are all about supporting local and it doesn't get any more local than this! Be sure to stop by our website www.madacrefarms.com and sign up for our newsletter as we will drop more details on this inventions journey as we get them!

The Barn Move

We have been working on this project for going on two years. It was quite the challenge to get it cleaned out and ready to be moved. In the interim we started to work with Practical Farmers of Iowa who awarded us a grant to get the building moved so we can start utilizing it as a pack house this summer for our market garden. The area the barn is being moved on already has water and electricity ...

    Ok youngsters. Go buy bubble wrap and a spray on adhesive compatible to you bubble wrap. Line the glass windows with the bubble wrap. It’ll allow the sun rays in and reduce the thermal transfer of green house heat through the glass

    High there. I think I'm a new fan of your videos. Glug glug glug yummmmmm, your right that is tasty! I just had a thought. Do you suppose it could be possible to make your watering bucket animal heated, at least through the night? Here is my bright idea. Make a box big enough for the animals lets say we are working with a dozen chickens or rabbits. The box could be insulated on the sides. The top could have a hole where the bucket or bowl drops down through the top of the box. The aforementioned critters burrow each might inside the said cozy box. Their excess heat warms the water. Thusly keeping it from freezing at least not so quickly. Maybe? After all ive only just thought of the idea. Perhaps it would be worth a try?

  • @richy7tube
    @richy7tube 2 месяца назад

    I like your winter water solutions. So far what I have tried and am somewhat satisfied with is a 2' hole in the ground that my water bowl sits on top of. This was in an attempt to access the warmth of the earth but it only worked on the shoulders of the winter season. During the coldest 60 days or so I fill a giant thermos with boiling water and seal the lid on tightly. Then drop that down in the hole. The heat seeps out slowly from the thermos over the next 24 hours and keeps the water in the bowl above from freezing. Try it out for yourself and see if it isn't worth making a video about it. Feel free to ask questions. P.S. Thanks for showing how a married life is a blessing!

    How cool is that! Love it that we're seeing inventors in action! The old saying "necessity is the mother of invention" holds true, and I think this inventor is wonderful for meeting a need that so many people here in Iowa (and around the country--even around the world) have. I am praying for success for him with his invention--and for you as you raise your goats and other animals at the farm.

    Your green needs to be rebuilt. Not use metal structures radiates heat. Then you need a minimum double pain system or triple your heat loss will. Reduce greatly.
