In the Dog House

I’m in my own dog house because I haven’t posted a new blog since August of last year. In my defense it seems longer ago than it has been.

Since my last blog I finished off our garden with great success and my husband telling me I’m not allowed to plant green beans this year. ;-) We finally finished a harvest; we never though would start, the last day of November. We didn’t get any fall field work done like fall pre-spraying or anhydrous ammonia (NH3) put on.

That brings us up to the beginning of this year. We’ve worked on two tractors, split one in half to fix the Power-Take-Off (PTO) clutch and I took off and had the steering motor on another fixed and also put it back on by myself. ;-)

My husband spent 63 hours in the tractor two weeks ago putting on most of our NH3 while I pulled about 35 tanks from the field to town and back. That same week we also spent several hours checking the cattle as they are in the midst of calving. I even tagged my first calf ever.

We’ve pulled up stock field fence, electrified fence around a field of corn stalks we use as great winter roughage for the cattle to munch on. This last week I’ve been fixing some electric fence around some summer grazing areas that the deer have knocked down and/or torn apart.

My husband is gearing up to get more field work done with the spreading of dry fertilizers and getting the sprayer out and ready to go.
The planter has yet to make it out of the shed but it is next in line this week or next as we should start planting corn here pretty quick.

I’m hoping I will do better job from now on posting things that are happening on the farm as well as some thoughts that keep running through my head about farm related topics.

Sorry for the delay in posting a new blog.

Later,

P.S. If any one knows what is wrong with either Google Blogger or what I'm doing that won't let me insert pictures please let me know so I can fix it and add pictures to my posts again. Thanks.
