this is Tricky

3 scoops. All right, you want to ride the tractor? This tree is so gnarly, it's tricky to traverse with the tractor being top-heavy. So I figured out a way to do it. I just go up and then I roll back down. It doesn't throw manure or, you know, compost when I'm going backwards. Why did this die? Halfway through the last load, Lucky broke down. Chickens were there. I moved them there today. They fertilized it, they tilled it. We ran a drag to, I don't know, make the land supple and ready to receive seed. Let's do that now. What do you have? You want to go wash it and have it? Yeah. Did you bite that off or somebody else bite that off? Me. All right, all right, let's go wash it. Got this seed spreader. I'm going to put it on about a 3, which is a pretty liberal coating. This is a seed from a company called Nature's Seed. This is a Southeast mix, dairy cow mix. You can get very specific in your region. And what you're actually growing it for. So I like it. We saved out an end of a bale here, manageable by hand. Nature's modest, she likes to be covered. You don't cover her, she will run away or cover herself, and it ain't pretty. This was an area that we cleared for pasture a couple years ago, so it's not completely bare. It's not doing that great. This was a patch of brambles right here. Very satisfying. Chickens did a lot of that work. This is going to come back jamming. We have more animals than we have pasture, so we need every nook and cranny we can get. Speaking of which, the spring has sprung. We've gone one loop around. We've had more grass than livestock, but that's about to change. Grass ain't gonna grow like crazy in the summer, so we're gonna harvest some steers. They are eating in. Oh, we got some close. They're black raspberries. That one maybe. Yeah, you want to try that one? Try it. Is it good? Huh, how is it? No, that one's not quite ready. And I wonder if those are red. Yeah, I know those are black. They're not ready yet either. Okay, Mark is here to look at that tractor. Looks like he's got him down. What do you say, Mark? What happened? Oh, it ran out of fuel, probably. But that's what— okay. I've just got it set temporary right here until I can get one. But, uh, okay. Battery came disconnected and we ran out of fuel. It's one thing if one or two gets out. It's a whole other if six get out next to where you just mulched. Well, there it is. I just saw him go under. Yeah, that's a big gap. That's all I'm trying to get out right now. They're always walking around looking for an escape. They got nothing to do. She doesn't see it yet. We'll cover it. What you doing? Nice. Yes, got her home. Are tractors females or males? Driver's ed. What's going on? It's clean. and I've collected buckets. It doesn't work. The eggs clang together. It just doesn't work out. Egg baskets for a reason. Hey, where are you going? No, it's time to eat. Put it in, Salma. Okay, looks like we're gonna get some rain. That would be good on our newly seeded pasture. All right, good boy. Come on, let's eat. What is this? Marshmallows. You two are so sweet. Yeah. Oh, is he helping? No. So you get to cut. You made homemade marshmallows? Yeah. How did the boys conjure you into making marshmallows? I gave them a coupon for their birthday. And they're redeeming it? Yeah. This one's ready, Becky. That one's ready? Oh, good, good, good. Thank you.
