Country Living

There is much to be said about making hay while the sun shines - and while there has been some haymaking with round bales dotting the countryside there has been a crap ton of planting activity.

Now that the fields have dried-out our world is dominated by the growl and rumble of machinery 24/7 and a steady stream of mechanized farm implements parading past the house at all hours of the day.  If the wind blows right you can catch a whiff of dairy air with the seasonal spreading of manure - liquid and otherwise.

One of our neighbors had his Cat MT765 Track Tractor out yesterday to disc the field across the road.

Following that he planted it. Corn if I had to hazard a guess. Finishing at 8:38 PM.

I never cease to be flummoxed at the technological revolution behind food production in this country.  Amazing.

I got more of my garden planted yesterday and I started it with my own piece of mechanized farming implements...
