There are heavy frosts now each morning — but the days warm up nicely. (Although the air moving by on the four-wheeler is a tad sharp.)
Terry has two huge projects he (we) are working on right now. Here he is waiting for Boo Berry to catch up with us. We are going up to the ditch we are putting into the pipe.
Getting the open ditches into pipes will make irrigation much easier — they won’t silt up or grow weeds.
Even though the time changed — farmers and ranchers still work by the sun. When the sun is up, we work.
When it grows dark, we come in.
Doesn’t matter what the clock says. 🙂
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

I’m laughing at the dog on the ATV! Is he the navigation system backup? 🙂

And piping the water will reduce evaporation too. Good plan, big job. We are still in the midst of the harvest for sugar cane. The farmers are taking advantage of the low rainfall to get the harvesters out at all hours, so we see them out there with their lights on, the tractors hauling out the filled cane bins and the cane trains hauling the bins to the sugar mill. But of course, no rain is a problem for next year’s cane crop, so they’re having to irrigate the newly planted paddocks, too. It’s a balancing act. Roll on January, and the end of the season.

Here’s a YouTube video which covers it really well. I hope you can understand the narrator, he has a very strong Aussie accent! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XEh7irtjWg)

I prefer to work with the sun and that’s why I like this time change better than the early fall when it takes so long for it to get light.
