NORTHLAND– The cold temps may be keeping some people inside as of late. But for farmers, they need to be outside even more when the reading on the thermometer goes down.
“It’s definitely almost a 24 hour a day job when you’re in those extreme 45 below wind chills,” said Chris Litchke, Owner of Litchke Farms in Superior Township.
The sub-zero temperatures have been creating headaches for farmers around the Northland as they try to keep their livestock healthy through the winter like over at the Butkiewicz Family Farm.
“Every day we are checking water, checking water and it was all fine up until two days ago,” said Butkiewicz Family Farm Owner Rory Butkiewicz.
