Usually retails for around $40-50 usd. Thought you all would like that JQ graveyard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Just a note, the next journal may be a little late, as rainy weather is in the forecast up until Monday. Hopefully I can get a break in the clouds, and enough time to get some quick shots sometime soon. Keep your fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 FARM JOURNAL #4 Weather has been slowing down farm work the past week. We have received a full week of wet, cold, and rainy weather. Allthough some farm chores were not able to be performed with the weather, we were able to plant half of the main field today while the rain held out. Farm employees are being payed "Time And A Half" per hour for working on the farm during rainy weather. Here's what we have been up to, unfortunately some of the pictures did not come out as good as usual, as I was taking pictures in a hurry before the rain picked up, aswell as a low camera battery pictures: Disking up the new field with the IH 560 & JD disk. Because the field is new, is has been tilled several times to mix in more of the topsoil. we will be planting this field next week: A farm employee is driving around the farm with a skidsteer to pick up rocks of noticable size off the roads. This routine has to be performed after each heavy rain shower, as the dirt used for roads has quite a few rocks mixed in: We were quite satisfied to see the pond full of water after the rain let up for a short period of time. Now that the Dirt in the pond is wet, it will be easier to finish digging it: Had a little fun with the photoshop on this photo: Structures lying close to the ground are always a problem around here when rain comes by. The fuel tanks will need to be washed off after the rain is over: Plantin' the main field with the John Deere 4620 and John Deere 1700: Tinkered around a little with the above photo in photoshop aswell: Gettin' R' Done: So far, the planter has worked like a treat. We have finished 1/2 of the main field, and are quite satisfied with it's performance: Hate to say it, but that's all for this week folks! Next week's journal will cover the rest of the planting, and some pond work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
