It's been pretty wet around here the past week. Not going to complain at all.
My cousins came and planted soybeans for me this year since I was behind. I can do about 60-70 acres a day with my equipment if I push it pretty hard. That 16 row covers 35-40 acres an hour. Made me feel like a fool. Not to mention everthing is autosteer. Sometimes I'd like to be a row crop farmer.
My new toy. Not as big as theirs, but it should do everything I need. Its my hay making/feeding/drilling/planting/spraying/bushhogging tractor. It will be a high hour tractor in no time.
Looking over at the hay we got baled last week just before it started raining. Pretty nice fescue/orchard grass hay. Too bad its had to sit in the field through all this rain. There will be a second cutting before long if this rain keeps up anyways. I'll just row this outside and use the barn space for the second cut.
This hay has been down for a week and gotten almost 9" of rain on it. Anybody want some cheap hay can send the trucks. My dad came to rake for me since the weather was looking bad. Didn't want to rake more than we could get baled.
Still didn't finish. Back to the truck we go.
Before rain
After rain. 14 days between pictures.
We did take a trip up to Tweetsie Railroad on a rainy day. Little man loves Thomas the Train so we couldn't miss it when we found out he was going to be there.
I think Thomas just made some steam, the real engine had to push him around.
Not a good feeling. It ran another 5 miles and got me home.
