The first picture showes a field that was covered with hay mulch. We cover the fields to help prevent soil erosion. Marten has been at this for the last couple of days. He was working to far away to get a picture of him doing it. But here is the result anyway. Looks like the field is nicely covered.
In this picture, Tineke is ripping up the headland. The heavy truck tracks left in the field from harvesting get loosened up again.
And then we get to the plowing. Klaas and I are at it with two plows. A lot of times we are going behind one another. It gets a little complicated at the ends sometimes. But we have got that down to a science. I drive in the back, and never have to stop. Klaas seems to be able to get in the furrow again before I complete my loop on the headland.
Later in the day we had some sea gulls over for a snack. They took off an hour or so later and left lots of tips, mostly on the windows.........

Sooooo funny!Thanks for the pictures!I like the ones with the double plowing action. how long have you been doing that for? It used to be just you wasnt it?? I hope you guys are all doing good. We are getting ready to head up to Mary and Isaacs at the beginning of next week and we are really excited about some vacation time!! Miss you lots! Love you! Have a good week, and hope you can relax soon! :) I know you like that alot!
Hi guys, fancy indeed, this plow-racing-how-fast-can-we-do-an-acre thing. Much CB use possible as well, at least you always have company. Strange how these seagulls come and go? Tineke beats you guys tractorsizewise (is that a word?)though!We are having the first wet snow tonight and severe windgusts, last of the leaves to fall and time to do some real offroading again since the woods are deserted now. I plan to take full advantage of this! I guess you have to service your snowmobiles, just in case???
Enjoy, greetings to you all!
