Down on the farm

Saturday, March 31, 2007

So spring is here, weather the last few days was BEAUTIFUL, and the farm work is going into full swing!

in January to February, we focused mainly in the shop, setting up for getting started again on some major mechanical projects (And mainly to get set up). We did some rearranging, set up some new shelving and lined a little over one-thousand feet of wire just to get it properly lit (8 Main-lights, 4 workbench lights, 4 plugs on each long wall, and the lights were block-wired!)

In march, the heat turned up so suddenly we had a "Mega-melt", were there were big rivers of meltwater everywhere! There was a great big lake in a low spot, and there was a overflow crossing our driveway! Interestingly enough, all the rivers were gone in a couple of days...

Since it has now dried out for a few weeks, I started up our MF202 and got the disc going. We want to fix up, improve and expand the field we got the most hay out of, so that means churning the soil a little, picking up any rocks that appear (2 backhoe loader buckets (6.7 Cu.Yards each) Already!) and clearing a little land.

Coming up this summer is a photo tour of the farm!
