Seed In, Hay Down & "Modern" Farming Cranks Up!

day 352 it is very dry starting to get a little concerning oh man and the hay is going down seeing is believing around here I feel like it's about to do us all in it's like another dinosaur doesn't it y'all that is going to be super handy so this year we have all this modern equipment so it's going to be a lot [Music] better all right y'all here we are day 352 just kidding I don't know what day it is anymore um lunch duty so in true Marty fashion my brain is so fried this week I went to the grocery store last night before the farm beer meeting um got what I thought was everything but I forgot the one most important thing that I needed to go for and that was mayonnaise we can't make sandwiches without mayonnaise I mean I I could I could I could choke one down without mayonnaise but lawence is not going to eat a sandwich without his Dukes on it so uh bie wi are nabs and sweet tea it is oh well he's fine with that he is really actually very easy to please when it comes to food I will say that all right he's down here finishing he got almost got done well he got like three quarters done last night but then he realized that he needed to go back over the first two Fields because it wasn't putting down quite enough so that's what he's doing he's probably got about 30 minutes more so he'll be done mid afternoon and then oh my gosh it's a little bumpy right here hopefully go to cutting hay there at the house and I guess in the next couple days we'll be square Belling that's the plan they're kicking up dust oh my gosh y'all that's another thing it is very dry it's getting drier by the day we haven't had any measurable rain I don't know I don't know how long it's been maybe 10 days and there doesn't seem to be any on the 10day forecast it's hot it's dry and everybody's got beans and corn and tobacco and hay in the ground so um it's starting to get a little starting to get a little concerning honestly is putting all this seed in the ground this week our beans last week and then this this SE like I say actually we did get a little bit of rain didn't we once we planted the beans I think we got a shower on them but still we need some rain we need some rain he's going to come get his lunch or I should bring it to him see what he wants oh I bet he's checking his seed that's what he's doing seeing where the seed is and you can't see him he's off and I'm off and he said it's still not still not putting down as much as he wants to I'm telling you we have the hardest time with that cedar figuring out rates for different stuff he said once once he does get it just right here at the end he's going to write it down in case oh man I that's what I told him in case he wants to do it again next year I told him after we finished eating I wanted to video him talking about what we're doing okay that segment will come later I will get him to explain what exactly we're planting I can tell you what it is it's called Sun hemp right right but I can't tell you I don't remember all the things or the reasons why he wanted to try this we've never planted it before I don't know anybody that's oh no that's that's I thought it was something on my forehead it was something on my screen anyway squirrel um I'm not really sure something about um I think it it's like a nitrogen fixing kind of plant that puts nitrogen back in the soil which should mean you don't have to really fertilize it so much so that would be great but and evidently it has good um nutritive nutrition nutritive value I really don't know but we're going to we're going to ask him about that hold that thought I also do know that there's 55 Acres down here so this is by and large our by and fall why can't I talk why is talking so hard by and large our largest this is our biggest biggest volume of hay so we need this to work we need this to work we we need to get the hay off of these fields this summer so that's that and the hay is going down and he's flying as usual man that's pretty is it so green so blue so this will be our um this will be our second cutting on this field and we're going to square Bell it if you were here for that last year you know that was the first time that we've done that in I don't know 20 years or something and the Bor gave us a fit he says he knows how to make it work we'll see we'll see C is believing around here but um yeah we'll be at that in a couple days come here buddy you have to stay with me you have to stay with me yeah at least stay away from that cutter there we go I mean he just don't play when it comes to cutting hay I love it is done with that and Wes's going to get it washed the pool is clean but we are having major issues let me see if anybody has recommendations so this hose keeps coming keeps coming undone we put another oh you fixed it today you never mind he he rigged it up keeps falling out okay cuz we had that little black thing but it popped off all right let me turn it back on I should have known he would have fixed it I asked him to he's such a good kid there we go anyway it just kept coming out oh oh this is off it's not going to work if I don't turn this back hose back on come on it's thinking about it just got to prel oh it would have helped if I turn that on no now I just want to get in here y'all I'm so hot there we go there we go okie dokie I'm not really sure what the guys are doing I know he needs the Ted but I hear some grinding is that for the conveyor yeah okay one I'm pump tell you what we're doing here in a minute we're trying to get hope I have I'm probably you know decide where to go what's that one okay so that's the bad one and that's one that can be that other one can be used I don't know okay so just just to tell you kind of give you lad down what we're doing here so we're going to do um hopefully tomorrow the plan is to get that hay the square Bell get the hay square Bell okay and so we've got that new thing that new thing the haly loader that we're going to use in the field that's going to help but then the other thing that we want to do is use this conveyor belt this very old again conveyor belt that we have that we've um only I only remember using it once we used it last year one time over on the other Farm but it needs new tires obviously you can tell so that would help us unload it from the trailer into the Container so we didn't have to hand card it all the way back to the back of the container so that would be awesome so that's the plan but just like everything around here it's broke and it's got to be fixed before it can be used so we'll see how that goes and the place where he's talking about having to go get the tires is like an hour away almost so that'll be that's going to eat up a lot of time but um is what it is time to Ted I didn't know he was coming right here he was just about run over me and he thought it was super funny look at this yard oh my gosh this little girl of mine just mowed all the yard oh wow yay I'm so happy y'all woohoo it's the first time she's actually mowed this yard she's been mowing Papas she did great she said she didn't think she did a good job she did a great job I'm telling you this week is just I feel like it's about to do us all in it's just so much it's so much I've had um a lot of deadlines and because I'm going to be gone to Youth Camp I'm trying to get ahead I'm trying to get ahead I'm trying to keep I'm trying to keep the ship afloat you know what I'm saying while I'm gone and that includes this channel so I have done more thank goodness we have a lot on cuz I have done more videos this week than I have done in a long time and I am my eyes are going cross from looking at the computer screen today so um but but I'm missing what all is going on now I'm afraid they're over there they're probably putting the tires on and I'm missing it they didn't let me know he okay I was correct the guys did go over there and put the Cs on the conveyor and they are bringing it back they might already have it back Wesley sent me some video what his part um they just knew I was busy I guess and so they didn't bother me which is probably a good thing cuz I did need to get some things done so now I'm working on supper um also has Bible study in town so I got to get her there in a little while so I'm trying to get this done and then um I'm just it's a hodge podge kind of night I got some hamburger steak I'm going to do some onion I got some cauliflower in the in the air fryer I think I'm going to do like loaded cauliflower bite thing I don't know exactly and then I bought some kale cuz we have not eaten any kale we have not been eating any greens lately so I'm going to sauté that and it's going to be a very healthy meal other than the yeah no it is it's healthy I mean that looks healthy right healthy healthy healthy this came together pretty good look how pretty this is y'all this is good I just roasted the cauliflower I tossed it it was fresh cauliflower tossed it in some olive oil and some of my Santa Maria seasoning roasted it for like 10 minutes or something then threw some cheese and bacon real bacon and real chabs green onion on top of it and let it melt and so good and then and then our burgers and our onions and that's that's what we got tonight and Bonnie is shedding Bonnie is shedding very badly I have brushed like three dogs Bonnie's worth off of her

container on this Farm nobody knows how to take water with them I'm telling you it's it's a real problem when it's when it's in the 80s and '90s and 100% humidity water is important come on on I don't
