It has been a long night. I've been looking over the video footage of The Farmer as he rode on the tractor yesterday afternoon. Here's a sample of what I've been seeing.
This is like the most boring Nascar race I've ever watched! All right turns and no car wrecks! And there's like 272 laps to go! Couldn't I have been given something else to do more exciting?
Okay, okay, it really isn't that bad. At least The Farmer was doing something important. He was tilling the soil so that wheat (and a bit of ryegrass for color and flavor; yum!) could be sown for the spring harvest. This field was the only one that had to be done like this. The others were all no-till which means he just sowed the wheat without working the ground any at all. Unfortunately the field in the video was too hard to plant like that and if he hadn't worked the ground up then many of the seeds might not have grown very well.
At least I've got the spring harvest to look forward to and all that delicious wheat silage. Until then, lets see, The Farmer is now on lap 346.
