Cleaning the Ditches

We’ve been cleaning out all the ditches.  Terry has this cool tool that he made which cuts our time down in half.  A person just puts the tool in the ditch and the water pushes it along pushing the sand and dirt in front of it.

We still have to scrape the sides and shovel some of the ditches, but boy does this make life easier!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

  1. Interesting tool! Glad it saves you some time!

    Question: Any idea why Georgia farmers seem to be against irrigation? I mean, not having irrigation and an irrigation wheel hurt the peanut farmers this year. (They say peanut butter is going up by 30% in November). And it seems that if they used irrigation, they’d have gotten more hay, and better quality at that. Thoughts?
