Never tried that I bet it would be fun

But I know the farmer was trying too get everything inside before the rains came in early winter so the baler got buried in fodder beet

Just got the Bushhog hooked up. Maybe mow some dead stuff tomorrow. Yesterday cleaned and burned some. Still got to prune a lot of the orchard trees. Stayed at the house all day piddling waiting on someone to show up, but never did.

I have some pruning to do too. I blinked and might have missed winter. May do it this weekend, will be cooler.

I know around here there occasionally plant turnips for erosion & winter cover crop. It seems to me that the cows like to work them out & munch on them.
