Farm week in pictures 5-10-12

The last spring calf was born on our farm this week.  Sorry I couldn’t get a better picture, he is a moover!

image

Got a good start spraying weeds that have invaded my soybeans.

image

We finished sidedressing (fertilizing) corn last week, after a rough start its finally starting to take off and look good!

image

image

The mums are here! Pam spent most of the week potting them, they are looking good.

image

We have been real busy making hay lately, this field is all raked up in windrows and ready to bale.

image

This fields all baled, not sure if you can see the hawk perching on the round bale waiting for his dinner to wander by.

image

Never a dull moment on a farm, had a slight delay in hay making to did a tire.

image

The hay barn us starting to fill up, this will make for happy cows through the winter months.

image

Alfalfa hay ready to be square baled.

image

Square baling alfalfa, I will come by later and pick these bales up with a stackwagon, called a harobed.

image

We had two balers running, instead of using a harowbed to pick up and stack bales we need to manhandle each bale with this baler.

image

We had a small rain shower thus week, enough to give us a really nice reminder.
