Rambling while unloading seed bags. Big problem with the seeder metering mechanism. The right way to live my life. Find your place in the world. Dig in, and take responsibility from there. - Gary…
[bag rustling] I'm moving bags of seed from this trailer, the utility trailer I used to pick up the seed from the skid to the firewood trailer, which is pretty big and easy to work from.
Can support this weight.
I had five bags, five 50-pound bags from last year of just straight oats and barley, like 80% or 80 pounds per acre of barley and 20 pounds per acre of oats.
And then I've got 45 bags here of blended cover crop seed, and that's, uh, gonna be put on...
I g- I've, I've got it at 16 and a half acres.
It's around 17 acres, I'd say.
I don't know how accurate.
And, uh, it'll take me probably, uh...
Oh, I don't know, probably six hours to broadcast this 'cause the loader tractor will have to be slow on the hills and the slopes.
But I'd use a bigger tractor except that, uh, the loader is pretty good at spreading because you're right there.
It's open station and you can see the, you can see the results of the spreading.
You're looking right at the spreader itself and, uh, it's a pretty good spread for that reason.
So the next [dog barks] thing is to get this seed out to the edge of the field at the top of the slope.
So a few more bags to go.
