I forgot my camera the weekend we cleared the property that is cleared. A friend of ours, Duane, is a dozer operator and he came up and cleared the 3.5 acres we are working with.
After Duane had cleared it we began to worry about how to spread 15 tons of wet lime. After many hours on the phone Jeff came up with the name and number of Irv in paradise. Irv brought out his JD to operate the lime spreader we rented from the Co-op in Rudyard.

As Irv leaves I thought a comparision to the 8N would be appropriate. Irv's JD is a smidge bigger than the 8N. |
I thought a quick snap of what the field looks like before we startt planting would make for some serious hopes.

And now looking out to the east cornor of the cleared portion. |
