3.9.21 Disc

Well farming 2021 started with a new disc purchase. We tried out a comparable, though larger model, last year thanks to my brother Kevin. The Lempken is a superior cutting and tillage tool to the older offset disc. The blades rotate and are set in a different pattern thus allowing for better chopping and smoothing of the field creating a more uniform seed bed. 
This disc came from Madras Oregon and was delivered via flatbed to our farm. The guys grabbed the tractor and backed onto the lowered flatbed deck. 
Bruce has already claimed his buddy seat for the upcoming farm year. 
Lia was so tired. We got in the cab to wait instead of standing out in the cold. I held her after this and she fell asleep in my arms. This was tricky as the tractor was at a 45' angle and so I had to really hold on to keep from slipping forward. 


The world at an angle. the empty water troughs from hosting cows. 
Hooking up the hydraulics. I love how the guys get to work with their dads. 
This young man is getting tired of waiting for farming specifically tractor driving to start. This chicken is trusting or slow enough to be caught and petted. She has the most beautiful feathers. I am awed by the unique design of chicken plumage. 

The bane of being the youngest is being left behind. Man is getting more and more aware and desirous of being part of the action. 
 

Yes, that is a lot of dirt. With all the snow comes a lot of mud. Constant vacuuming just works the vacuums to death. He is a sweet baby getting close to walking which will be perfect timing for all the activity of the spring and summer months.
