School goes on.....

Hi guys,
  Yesterday evening, Mom and I went up to Steele for a meeting about the John Birch Society.  We were there for about 2 hours, listening about how to take back our country...  I think I will let Mom tell you more.....

  This morning, Mom left for Bismarck to do sessions; Dad left to go haul some more grain; Andrew left to go drive grain cart for a farmer; Cora worked around the house, and , before Andrew left, Andrew and I worked on the rafters some more.

  After lunch, I started working on school, and this is the last thing on my school list! YAY!!! :P  I am also going to run up to the pasture to check cows pretty soon, as that has become one of my daily jobs, because they kinda like to jump out of the fence. >:-(

  Well, I will talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Washing the baler...

Hi guys,
  As the title suggests, yesterday I pressure washed the baler.  The reason for doing this is to get rid of all of the old hay leaves and dirt and dist that had gathered during the haying season.  I will try to dig up a few pictures that Mom took of me yesterday.  Sorry, they don't want to load. :-(

  Anyway, once Andrew and I had finished washing the very dirty baler, which took us about 3 hours, we "winterized" the pressure washer.  To winterize it, we ran all of the water out, and ran some straight anti-freeze in until it was through all of the systems.

  I have also been working on tearing apart the rafters that got blown over by the wind.  We have to take them all apart so that we can figure out what is all wrong with them so that we can start rebilding them again...

  News for my game fans: Giants software is releasing a special "Platinum" edition of Farming Simulator 2011 with all three of the DLC packs, as well as a new game; Ski Region Simulator 2012.  Those two will be released on the 21st of October.  Also, Agrar Simulator 2012 should be coming out on the 25th of November...

  Gotta run, Jacob.

Busy with everyting but school. :-)

Hi guys,
  as the title suggests, we have all been very busy around here for a while, and now is the first time that I can write.  Mom has been talking some more BodyTalk classes in Bismarck, and along with going up for sessions, she has been home for 1 whole day this week! :-)

  The other day almost all of the cows were out in our neighbour's hay field, so we spent two and a half hours getting them in and fixing all of the fence that they knocked down.  By the time we were done, we had to ride back home in the dark!

  We also worked on the grain trailer for the truck in the past week.  We put in new brakes, bearings and oil seals on all of the main axles, as the seals were letting all of the hub oil out of the hub, and the bearing were not getting enough oil.

  Andrew will be working for a farmer for quite a while, driving a grain cart chasing the combine!  They have enough corn to combine to keep him busy for a while. ;-)  Anyway, I need to get going, as I should go check the cows pretty soon.  Bye
 Jacob.

Busy as ever.

Hi guys,
  Today, we are having some very nasty, windy weather, so we are staying inside as much as possible. :-)  Yesterday, Andrew and I went up to the pasture and moved the cows to a different pasture, and then he finished combining the flax, and I disked the field right away.

  This morning, Andrew went over to our rented land by Hazelton to bring back a loader tractor, and he just got home now.  I think that we might be stacking bales this afternoon...  Andrew also mowed the ditches over there.

  I got my straw baled up today in Agricultural simulator, and I tried stacking them 2 high on the bale trailer, but I accidentally dumped some of them off. :-)   I also mowed some grass and collected it in a forage wagon... :-)  Here are some pictures.

 

Well, I suppose I should probably get back to my school work, and/or go outside and see what Andrew is doing, so I will say goodbye for now.

  Jacob.

I'm back. Again...

Hi guys,
 It's been a little while since I've wrote, but I have been busy swathing with the old Versatile 400 swather, cutting down hay and flax.  We also stacked a lot of 2nd cut hay bales here recently, so that kept us busy for a good day.  I think we got about 250 stacked in one day!

  As you might have heared, my Mom was away for a BodyTalk class this last week, and then just after she got home, Cora left for three days to go help some of our friends pack for a move.  Cora just got home yesterday, so it's good to have everybody home again.

  Also, here are a couple of pictures from Agricultural Simulator Biogas.  I finally got around to doing my silage! :-)

  Let me know if you want more pictures. ;-)

  Well,  Mom said that now that I am older, I have to write a little bit more than I did last year.  :-S   So I guess I am just rambling now...  Well, seeing how I don't have much else to say, I will leave it at this, and say goodbye for the weekend. :-)

  Til' next time, Jacob B.

 

A picture post for Hristiyan.

Hello again,

Yesterday, my second cousin, Hristiyan, requested some pictures of making hay in the new add on for Agricultural simulator. Biogas! So here are some pictures with the whole process of making grass bales. I might get some more pictures of silaging and foraging later.

Note: that is a REMOVABLE frontloader!

Well Heristiyan, that will have to do until I can get some more screenshots... Hope you enjoyed it.

Jacob

School has started, and thus my blog is reserected from the dead! ;-)

Hi guys!
  It's been a long time since I've posted, but we have all been very busy on the farm, and I haven't had much time to write, until Mom made it part of my school again this year...  So how has everybody been since I've posted?  If anybody is reading this, I hope that you are all doing well.

  So as you may have heard, if you read my family's blogs, my second cousin, Hristiyan, came here for a while, so we had a lot of fun when he was here...  Here is a picture from the Bio gas add on that I told you about H.! 

:-)

  The other night, I was swathing down some wheat, when Mom came and said that our neighbor's horses were all out in our alfalfa field!  Well, to make a long story short, Andrew and I were on our dirt bikes trying to get them in, and we started shortly after 7:00 PM, and when we were done, it was about 8:30!

  Well, Cora just called me for lunch, so I got to go.

 Talk to you later, Jacob B.
