Deer Food Plot Update:

It is 78 degrees and sunny with rain predicted for tomorrow. I got out the 1953 Ford Jubilee tractor and towed the 12-foot drag (harrow) to the food plot. I managed to harrow the entire plot despite a few wet spots that nearly got me stuck. I went back with loyal hound and planted 80% of the plot. I ran out of seed, but will get another bag of "Throw & Grow" tomorrow at the feed store and be done with it.

Other agriculture business: yesterday a neighbor came by with his tractor and 5-foot PTO tiller and did both my gardens. The Old Garden is 50 feet X 75 feet and New Garden is 45 feet X 90 feet. Just before the neighborly till, I had put 120 pounds of lime on each garden and 200 pounds of dry cow manure and humus on each garden. Over the Winter, I had dumped/spread wood ashes on both gardens from the woodstove. Like I said, Agra Bidness....
