Post-harvest work

No rest for the weary!  Harvest is over, but work continues at a slower, but steady pace.  The men worked on the disk for a couple days.  They will have to use it in some areas to smooth out ruts and washed terraces.  They are also giving the strip-till fertilizer rig a makeover.  Dry fertilizer tends to "sand-blast" the hoses so they needed replaced.  Much to the kids' delight, they are now a bright green color.  Very snazzy.  Several other adjustments and work on the hydraulic cylinders are also on the list this fall.  The weather is to turn cooler starting tomorrow, and Quentin may still be able to get some fertilizer application done this fall if he finishes the applicator in time.

 

Extreme makeover: Farm edition

Not to worry, it is not all work and no play.  We still managed to squeeze in a little "harvest is over" party while the weather was nice.  Hot dogs and s'mores over the campfire!
