Farming

I earlier this month I spent most of a week doing range seeding as part of a demonstration project. As it turns out, I could have consulted Dad on this project since he has done plenty of similar work. That is a John Deere 5400 and a Truax Flex II Series Grass Drill. Seeding 78 acres with a four foot seeding width at four mph takes a very long time.

 Philip collected some chestnuts from trees near his office. He let them dry out for a week or two then cleaned them today. We are planning to roast them on Thanksgiving.
