Watching farmers at work

I used to work up the ground before Bob planted. This video is of my renters starting to work on my farm.

As soon as this work is completed, planting will begin.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Fertilizer on the move

An unusual dry spell, has dust flying as a nearby dairy farm empties its manure pit.

This is an annual event that has tractors racing to fields. There the fertilizer is spread and worked into the soil.

There is no time to waste as rain is on its way. For bystanders, it’s best to stay out of their way.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Spring is time for chicks

If you happen to go to any farm store in April, you will often find peeping chicks. These were in Fleet Farm in Stevens Point.

I didn’t buy any chicks. My dog would go crazy if I did, so I have to enjoy my chicken-watching elsewhere.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Soybeans being harvested

Football game doesn’t stop farm work. A dry windy day has my farm renters working hard today.

This short video was taken from my front yard. When they were working here before it was at night, so no video from that day.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Goodbye old friend

Internation Tractors were Bob’s favorite workhorses on the farm.

Today, the last of the IH tractors left the farm.

Somehow, I know Bob was watching.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
