Fiddle farting around on the farm.

Siesta, don't know if you can get to his site, but he builds implements to clear Texas land! You might find interesting. https://www.facebook.com/HebbronvilleMachineShop

I have seen attachments like this with other companies. His dozer rake design for the skidsteer is nice. There are a ton of companies that make root plows for dozers/tractors.

Land clearing practices differ from each property/use/soil/etc and if under USDA grants. My preferred way to clear property with good soil is to use a dozer and then followed up with a root plow then rake it

You put those range cubes in a bucket and rattle it a bit is about all the persuasion needed, I'll bet!!

Bluebonnets are gonna be plentiful this year, of course I need to disc up the soil and replant Bermuda again in April.

I had to google Bluebonnet because I was not familiar with that plant. They are pretty. I’m guessing, nothing will eat them.

Received another half inch of rain early this morning. 1in total YTD for 2024, 4% of the yearly rainfall average. Drought joke... this week has had the most rainfall this year! (For 2024 lol).

That same system is dropping snow on me. I hope this trend continues.

TB, how much are the weather folks predicting for your area? I think I saw this morning we might get 1-2", but only clouds now.

Most are saying 1-3”. I did see a 3-6”. Depends on your weather app. The pic is from my farm (Eureka area). I’m in Andover. Looks to be about 2” here now & snowing. A very wet snow.

It don’t seem right, all this moisture is coming from the south. Come on El Niño, get with the program.

Agreed!! The USDA moisture model and prediction for December was a LIE.

I don't see the girls under those trees. Did you run out of cubes?

Ran out of grass!

 

[Trapper Bob]

Ran out of grass!

I sympathize with you. I “was” in the same boat. We received about 6” of snow (1” of moisture) after Thanksgiving. About an 1”/week for 3 weeks. Then, a real nice 2” rain that ran off because of soil saturation. 1 pond is full & the other is within 3’ of running over. My creek is flowing again. Last Summer/Fall, I swore I would not complain about mud ever. I’m being kept out of the fields because of the wet conditions. Ordinarily it would be a curse, but I wish the same for you. No harm intended.

Thought for today: There's no such thing as woman's work on a farm. There's just work.
