Finished up 1st cutting...

Thought you might like to see a few pictures of how we do hay around here! 

Ben drove this tractor pulling the chopper and a dump truck...

Then the dump trucks are driven from the field to the bunk and dumped off....

the hay is then pushed up into a pile and  packed down

Elli even got a little ride!

After we took all the hay off we then had to cover the pile with plastic.  The plastic is put on the pile to keep the oxygen and rain out.  It helps keep the haylage from molding!  We hold down the plastic with tires... I guess I will have to post a picture of that later.  I didn't get one on my camera yet.....  Blessing~



Rain & Spring Planting

This past few weeks have been busy, but what is new!  We have been trying to get the rest of our corn in.  We are down to about 200 acres to go!  Which should go within the next few days.  It is late this year due to all the rain we have had.  We have had a lot of fields under water most of the spring. 

This is what our little creek looked like after one of the rains we had. 

I finally got some of my garden in!  I cheated this year and bought some things already as plants!  And last night I got them all mudded in!  Hopefully I will be able to get more of the garden worked up tomorrow and start getting my seeds in!  I can't remember ever getting it in this late.  I did look for seeds with the shortest number days till mature!  It will be interesting to see how everything turns out~
JUNE is dairy month!  Let's celebrate with a smoothie!  Blessings~
