I'm so jealous of the perfectly flat, no rock fields you have. I see lots of old equipment that doesn't see much abuse. I hit rocks with my disc mowers all the time, even tiny ones that are hard to see. My hay fields are a little larger, at 700-800 acres each x 5 fields, I can never remember exactly where the rocks are, just the vicinity. I hit them every year. I just got a brand new Pottinger triple mower in April of this year and wouldn't you know it, I've hit about 12 rocks this season. I bite my tongue each time. Really, really pretty fields you have there!
@SandiBrock5 жыл бұрын
800 acre fields??? OMG. Mark's dream... As for stones, we seem to be able to grow those really well also. LOL. We do our best when we plant to pick what we can, and roll after... but we all know after winter, they seem to be able to show themselves again. We've been lucky so far this year!
@zfilmmaker5 жыл бұрын
@@SandiBrock Yup, my farm is just under 12k acres…I’m a cattle and hay operation from Virginia. At one time I had the largest Angus ‘Lucy’ herd but I don’t know if that’s still the case. I raise registered breed stock cattle. For hay, I do about 600 acres in alfalfa and 3000 acres in orchard grass, timothy and fescue (endophyte free). I make round and lg squares for both myself and to sell. You guys have a much more impressive operation with cops, hay, cattle and sheep. It’s quite an operation you have and I love that the family is all involved! I don’t have the kind of rocks that can be easily picked. I have to first break them with a excavator and hammer. It’s been a lot of work getting my fields in shape. I’m also hilly in some places and some areas have so much rock, that land goes to complete waste.

At 6:16 I see Ashtabula and Conneaut, Ohio. I spent summers in Conneaut at my grandparent's house on Lake Erie. They had the best weather and a constant breeze off of the lake. They had a boat and we fished and swam in the lake. Winters were magical when I lived with them for three years before I joined the US Navy.
