So, I’ve been neglecting my blog lately, mostly due to becoming the twitter and facebook dude for @durhamfarmfresh… (you should follow!)
So, in a nutshell, the last month or so has been busy with wheat and barley harvest, and hay and straw baling, in between rains… The new (to me) combine has performed better than expected, so getting the grain done between rains was a little easier than it could have been, but trying to make dry bales with the frequency of the rains has been challenging!
Now that we can put away the haying equipment, we move into fall, where the weather is a little less of an issue. Currently we are stinking up the neighbourhood with some wonderful organic fertilizer! in between fixing a feed cart that is bound and determined to throw the chain off the sprocket, and, well, a whole bunch of other jobs that were on the ‘sometime this summer’ list!
