May I feed my pigs and chickens all my table scraps? Not all, but most! Chickens and pigs are both omnivores and (in the wild) eat an extremely varied diet. Avoid feeding the following: rotten food, junk food, candy, dry beans, raw potato skins, rhubarb, citrus, apple seeds, onions, dry rice, and avocado. Look at this link about feeding chickens:

May I burn my field or ditch like I see other people doing? Maybe. The burns you are seeing are likely agricultural burns and are intended to prepare waterways and fields for commercial crops.

May I build a pond on my property? Probably not. Unless you have a water right you cannot access water flowing on or near your property. If you do have a right, you also need a storage right to hold the water. Even digging down to expose groundwater is considered digging a well which, guess what, needs a permit.
