Epic Fail

So, I have obviously not been keeping up with this blog over the last few days.  My days have been filled with feeding cattle as needed and field work at the Bradford farm.  I have formed a special attachment to the Case IH 2x2 and the field cultivator, as this is has been my sole activity over the last three days.  The cultivator is large implement that spans probably 30 feet with small shovels that dig into the earth a few inches to break up the surface.  Attached to the front is a harrow that further smooths out the ground.  Because Bradford got a decent amount of rain last week, it was too wet for us to plant until yesterday.  By cultivating the field, we broke up the soil enabling it to dry faster as well as preventing the ground to dry into a hard lump, making it easier to bring the planter through the field.  Dad has been planting the soybeans while I do the field work.  I would suspect he is nearly done (probably working on it as we speak to finish) and then we can plant the corn.  I don't know how many acres I haven't done, but I would guess at over 100 in the last three days.  It's been productive, though sitting in the tractor cab gets monotonous.  It does provide some opportunity to reflect on life, though I'll admit, because I tend to do that frequently throughout my day and in conversations with friends, I have been vegging out in the tractor.  Regardless, though, things are going well and I have been content with the things I think about whether in or out of the tractor.  I suppose I had better not promise to be more diligent with the blog because after working between 9-11 hours, blogging is about the last thing I want to do.  I will blog when I can, but that's the best I can do at the moment.
