Terry is creating a new portion to one of our fields
Extending the field so it becomes a rectangle—taking away point rows
Point rows are hard to work with. A point row is a short row that starts at a slant going from long to shorter.
Having all the rows the same length makes for all tractor/combine and human work ever so much better.

Life on a Colorado Farm 
Almost every sugar cane paddock here is planted in point rows, although the reason eludes me, except perhaps to maximise the available land. Cane harvesters are much smaller than combines, are on tracks and are very agile, so perhaps cane farmers think it’s worth the extra labour harvesting this format causes.

Maybe. We don’t like them…they take tons more energy to do stuff. That was interesting to learn, though. Thank you, Kate.

I enjoy learning about your pets, wildlife and what it takes to run your farm.
Have a good day, Linda!

It’s good that you were able to ‘square off’ one of your fields. Anything to make the farm work just a little bit easier.

Yes, just a little bit easier. 🙂

Well that will work well!
Is it going to be the alfalfa field by chance? 🌱 It’s THE BEST alfalfa in the county!

Corn. Terry doesn’t like alfalfa in that field as the field, itself, is hard to water. Corn or beans work the best. Thank you for the compliment. He does work hard at producing it. 🙂
