Parts Everywhere

Bill's second cousin, Bryan, arrived to start working with us yesterday.  He has been in college getting a degree in agronomy.  He thinks he might like to move here (from Colorado) and make farming with us his career.  We're excited about it and hope it works out.  He'll be working with us this whole year in all of the seasons of farming.  He's been here the past few summers.

In these pictures, he and Bill are working on the planter and field cultivator.  It's less than a month until we'll be planting, weather permitting.  They're also planning to haul corn from the grain bins to the elevator this week.

The shed seems big when it's built and when paying for it, but you can see that with the big equipment unfolded in it for working, it is full.
