be avoided., for example when
handling dry bedding, sweeping
dusty walls or walks or grinding
and mixing feed.
Keeping the overall level of dust
down is also helpful. Therefore as
soon as feed sacks or chemical
containers are emptied they should
be discarded. Regular
housecleaning of work areas is
another good idea. Not only will the
area look better... you’ll feel better
without all that dust in your lungs.
To Correct Drainage Problems
The recent quick thaw provided
a good chance to observe the water
drainage problems around many
homes and farmsteads. If surface
water drained into farm buildings
or into homes, then something
should be done about it soon.
Surface water should be directed
away from buildings by way of
terraces or diversion ditches.
Water should not be permitted
to flow down against buildings
from upgrade. This will weaken
the structure and wash soil away
from the foundation. Water that
seeps into a building from un
derground is a different problem
and more difficult to control.
However, the surface water can
be directed around and away from
farm buildings. Also, the area
around wells should be protected
from surface water contamination.
Water from feedlots and bar
nyards should not be allowed to
flow directly into streams;
pastures or holding areas will
prevent the possibility of pollution.
