Baling straw

We spent the day baling and hauling straw.  It will be used as bedding for our cattle in the colder months.

Checking The Barley

A couple of pics taken just after the snow melted off the fields. Wish all the of our barley was up like this field!

Busy trying to get the crops planted, too busy to be posting on the blog but doing it anyway. In the top picture dad is planting barley while I am plowing the last third of the field that we were unable to get plowed before the ground froze too hard last fall. When we get those last ten acres of barley in we will be done with our grain and move on to thirty acres of alfalfa. The second picture is when I was plowing the field last fall.
