    Bonton Farms prepares crops and animals for cold weather – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

    With temperatures expected to drop into the teens in North Texas, Pontoon Farms, an urban farm in Dallas, is bracing for a cold snap.

    “When it's windy, this can be a tough job,” said Danny George, known as “The Farm Man” at Bonton Farms, looking at the rows of covered crops. “But when you're talking about 10 and 14 (degrees), I don't think any vegetable can handle that.”

    George and the crew have been working at Bonton Farms since Monday to prepare for a cold storm.

    “Basically, you have to stay prepared to prepare,” George said. He added: “It takes days and we don't have days, so today and tomorrow will be decisive.”

    Bonton Farms was building a new shelter for a blind pig named Libby. They were also making sure that heat lamps, hay, tarps and defrosting for water tanks were ready in the goat and chicken houses.

    “Most animals in the wild don't have homes, hay or fabric,” George said as he fed a goat turnips. “We feed them and house them, so I feel like I'm their father.”

    Thursday the temperature was above 60 degrees, but a drop is coming.

    “The worst is yet to come,” George said, making sure the crops were covered. “It's all going to be popsicles. Popsicles! I mean I've had frozen vegetables, but I don't think everyone is a fan of frozen vegetables.”
