Farming and Animals
Send a Cow's philosophy is that making the best use of natural resources such as soil, crops, animals and water enables farming to be inexpensive, effective and sustainable. Send a Cow provides animals including cows, goats and poultry, training and ongoing support. Training is in: management of animals to limit the damage they do to land; care to keep the animals healthy and productive; and farming best practice to increase crop yield and lower costs, for example by using composted manure rather than buying commercial fertiliser. Send a Cow also provides business and marketing skills training to farmers who become able to produce vegetables, milk, eggs or meat over and above the needs of their own families so that they can run small businesses in their communities.

Famous quotes containing the words farming and/or animals:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Of all animals the boy is the most unmanageable, inasmuch as he has the fountain of reason in him not yet regulated.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
