farm fun



Yep, amidst the hard work, we still have fun! A friend recently shared our blog with a coworker and their comment was, "It seems like they just drive their tractor around a lot." It brought back memories of the days this time last year before the tractor and implements were a part of our everyday work. I wasn't sold on it at first either. Why start up the tractor, move it, use fuel, just to move something a few feet? Now I understand. Moving manure and straw, as in this picture, for instance, although still a chore, is a lot more efficient and quick with the bucket of the tractor and a wagon to fill. We still do a lot of things by hand, and the tractor is not almighty, but combined with rototillers and mowers, we are much more time-efficient this year and can accomplish more.
