Using Our Sheep Feed To Heat Our Home For The Winter!

Video: Using Our Sheep Feed To Heat Our Home For The Winter!

At Ewetopia Farms, we use our sheep feed, corn, as fuel to heat our house for the winter in Canada. Corn harvesting is fast approaching so today on our sheep farm we took advantage of the nice fall weather to remove some dry corn from our corn bin to make room for the new corn and to set aside 5 tons of corn for heating our house once the cold weather sets in. This is a very inexpensive way to heat our home. We grow and store the corn ourselves, and it is our primary heat source.
