Have you ever gotten behind something like this and were in a hurry? Believe me...the guy driving (and sometimes it's me)...DOESN'T CARE that you're in a hurry...he just doesn't want you to hit him cause the repair to a piece of machinery is usually more $$ than your car.
Seeds go in here....
...and here.
Two tractors, with two sets of drills each ready to go to work.
The first tractor starts off....
He makes the corner...
and keeps going around the field. Then, the second tractor comes up to make the corner....
comes right up to where I'm at ready to make the second corner (this is a small 19 acre field)
...he gets right up to make the second corner and can't steer! Hoses with hydraulic fluid broke and it went everywhere!
Makes a yucky, dirty mess that will keep anything from growing there this season.
It wasn't a horrible non-fixable breakdown, but it did put a damper on getting that field done this evening....want more farm pics? I have been sewing ...the cooler weather runs me inside, so hopfully I'll get some more sewing posts up too.

Oh, I just love seeing photos like that! I am NOT a city girl at all, they make me nervous, give me dirt and I am right at home. Of course we don't raise anything big like that, just veggies for ourselves and have our farm animals. Always wanted to be somewhere like that during planting season.

Love looking at those red dirt fields...too bad about the machinery breakdown...but I know those things happen.
Yes, the cooler weather has been around to tease us that winter will be here before we can bat a eye.
Please verify... The wheat seeds that you are planting are the same ones that you will harvest that will eventually become bread or some other wheat based item... (So do you save some of your crop to plant next year...)
Crud - with the broken hoses! But I LOVE the farm pictures!!!
I love to see planting happening. How many acres do you farm?
hope the crop is coming up well.........we have started harvest.......
Thanks for all the pix. I love seeing the process.
