It was a Red Letter Day today on the Farm!  Mr. Willard Thomas came to see us, and brought his beautiful John Deere tractor and even more beautiful pull behind blades to disc up some of our barren land.

With rain in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, it is a race against the weather to see if we can get the land chewed up, and the seed planted and covered before it gets too muddy.

His big churning discs, weighted with heavy concrete blocks, turned up our black land both in the new pasture that was created by our latest cross-fence (paid for by our 2012 Shareholders), and the east pasture that we added last year.

Tomorrow, we try to get the seed in before the rains come.

Big tractors, pulling big discs, leaving behind plowed land.  It’s a good thing.  Watch, and you’ll agree!

(Even Rascal was curious.)
