Had a great weekend, altho some disappointments too. Started with helping my son fix his trailer ramp, he bought a new trailer but the ramp was too short so getting his snowblower tractor on was tough, so I added a foot to it.
That was enough and it loads good now.
In exchange for that he did some wiring in the barn for me. All the wiring was cut in the barn, so there were no lights and the well didn't work. So he ran new wires and fixed me all up. Got lights and water!
Water is pretty yucky looking so going to take some flushing and a shock to get it cleaned up. Now just take out parts of the stalls and make some pens and animals will be in the kingdom. I'm thinking a few calves and hogs.
Sunday was harvest day for corn. Combined most of it but some was poor quality because it was planted late, so I picked that as ear corn hoping it will store better.
The corn was not good because right after I planted we got 5" of rain then two weeks of dry and I got a crust which made for a poor stand. Hopefully next year I'll have a rotary hoe to fix that if it happens again. But I ended up with 4 good loads all together.
Glad this year is done, been a real challenge. But I learned a lot about farming this ground and made a lot of progress towards getting it to drain, so next year's should be better, And hopefully dryer. We've had a bunch of wet years in a row, so we're due for some dry and that is what this farm likes.
After the pens get done and the animals are here it will be winter projects again. Going to be rebuilding haying equipment this year, mower, rake, balers and a power steering unit for the 400. That is if it's not below zero all winter. Lol

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
