The plowing is all done!
All the plowed ground is now rolled—you have to smash all the plowed earth flat, the roller does that
The plowed and rolled ground is leveled—meaning fixing the ground so there are no humps, lumps or bumps in it so the water can go through from the top of the field all the way to the bottom of the field
All the grass fields and the alfalfa fields have been marked out ready for the water to start
Equines (not cows) are very hard on gated pipe—-we now have all the gated pipe repaired.
Getting closer to starting water on the farm. Soon now.
Very soon!

You certainly have been busy this Spring, but that’s nothing new.

Here is another local rainbow, showing off one of the local fire engines. Daniel Ramey, one of the Chicago Park firemen, took the picture. If you google Chicago Park CA it is quite interesting the history of the place.

Pipe repair must be such a high cost in time and money. Our farmers use heavy duty wide, flat hose, like firemen use, and it’s rolled up onto huge spools and wheeled away at the end of the irrigation season. Once the crops are grown to a certain size they use overhead sprays. Our climate’s completely opposite, of course…
