Local farmer urges motorists to slow down on rural roads As every farmer knows, it is difficult to lose farm animals to predators even though hawks and coyotes must eat to survive. Yesterday, we were visited again by another type of predator - someone who purposely ran down two of our 4-month-old guinea fowl on a long straight stretch of Olde Noah Hunt Road. It is true that these birds don't have much sense when it comes to traffic regulations, but they offer many happy moments of amusement to our u-pick visitors, adults and children alike, serve as watch birds for predators (they have warned us on many occasions) and keep our grounds safe from bugs and ticks. It is difficult to understand why someone in a fast vehicle intentionally mows down guileless birds when a safer and humane slowdown would keep everything right with the world, at least on Olde Noah Hunt Road.
