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.

Nasty Weather. :-(

Hi guys,
  Today it is VERY windy and it is raining a little bit too.  It is so nasty outside that nobody wants to go outside, so Dad and I went to Wishek to pick up our quick hitch for the 7250, and then we drove around for a little bit looking through all of the dealerships.

  We aren't doing much today, Cora went to work in town; Dad and I just got home from Wishek; Andrew is looking at computer parts and what not; and Mom is going to go take a soak, I think.  When we came back, we could see the green house plastic bubbling severely. :-(

  So how is everyone enjoying all of the slop? :P  It is fun just getting in and out of our yard right now!  From what I saw on the trip, everybody has a messy yard too. :-(  Anyway, time to go, so I will say goodbye, and I will talk to you all later.

  Bye, Jacob B.

Still Snowing :-(

Hi guys,
 Yesterday and today, us guys have been busy working on Andrew's quad, and now this morning, we are finally finished, and Andrew and I took it out for a drive, but I will let Andrew tell you about that sometime, if he ever gets time...

  We have been getting some more snow here lately, and now we have somewhere around 8 inches on the ground here, but it is melting off as it comes down, or at least the thermometer says that it should be anyways...

  I just looked outside the window, and it is still snowing, but just a very little bit.  This morning, Dad left to go get another load of hay home, so he should be getting home soon...  Anyway, I had better get going, so I will say goodbye.

  Jacob B.
