Chores Around the Farm

Well we have been busy with our "Summer Chores" here on the farm.

Our hogs have taken alot of time. This is our 1200 head barn that we fill twice a year. We also have a 400 head set up that we fill twice a year to. A total of 3200 head of hogs a year

One other is tiling. We had a tile riser get blocked a year ago and we are finally able to work on it. We are redoing the whole tile run.

We have also been working on our "new" grain bin. We bought a bin from a landlord then moved it. We are adding 2 more rings then what it originally had and 2 fans so we could dry with air if we had to.

Weaning calves can be fairly fun if they work good. Luckily they did work fairly decent for us. SO wehave been hauling calves too.

Now if you noticed in a few planting pictures, we had a tad problem with the exhaust on the 4650. Well we finally got the solution. a Chrome straight pipe!!!!
