Makeover

Extreme makeover farm edition continues.  The big tractor is getting many new interior pieces, including a new seat.  I keep hearing rumors about a possible trade in, though.  It might be like when you fix a house up to sell it...

This and that

The cold snap continues here.  We had a little bit of snow over the weekend.  The men continue feeding cows, minor maintenance work and working on their "honey-do" lists at home.  They have also been working out fertilizer and herbicide plans for next spring.  Time flies!

Cold days!

Winter has set in here on the farm.  The cold days are still busy days!  Quentin has been out of the field since the snow, but is working on the strip-till bar.  It broke down on him last time he was out trying to run.  Paul keeps busy feeding hungry cows.  They burn through the hay in this cold weather.

Flurries!

We have a few flurries starting to move through!  It hasn't kept Quentin out of the field yet.  He is trying to finish up strip-tilling and fertilizing part of the neighbor's field before it gets too cold.  In the meantime, we are having soil sampling done on some of our fields so we can get the fertilizer recommendations worked out for those.  Quentin threw out some dry fertilizer over the top before the last rain to get a head start.  He doesn't want to get too much out too early to guard against losses, but it will be time to get rolling soon.

Winter is coming!

Quentin was able to finish strip-tilling one field for a neighbor late last week.  Then, we had 0.5" of rain on Sunday.  It brought a halt to the field work, but we needed it for the wheat.  Quentin may try some more strip-tilling today if the field isn't too wet.  He would like to get a little more done before the cold sets in.  Winter is looming over us!  We are expecting cold weather and even some snow tomorrow.
