Come along as we move the cows down the gravel road and into the 35-acre field, making the best of what the season hands us. Farming isn’t always easy, ...

It’s still August, which means it’s still hay season—and we’ve got a lot of ground left to cover! 🌾
From crop-checking alfalfa fields in my new “date” truck (a new-to-us Freightliner 😉) to adding new technology to our Massey tractors, there’s no slowing down around here.

We’re installing Dakota ...

Tag along for a short trip to the Farm Progress Show 2025, where my Black Beauty 6s.165 was hauled in and set up with the double baler inside the AGCO booth.

Every time I start feeling confident after hundreds of smooth bales, the Bale Baron steps in to remind me who’s really in charge. A slug here, a full table there — just enough to keep me humble. Tag along as we finish up 3rd cut alfalfa back in August and get a real look at how quickly things can...

You just have to keep LIVING... Keaton jumps into his tractor ( ‪@MasseyFergusonNorthAmerica‬ 5S.115 with the Rotary Rake ) we sing, laugh, joke, and it was a good reminder of life.

Not every day is going to go perfectly... and that's what happened. We got just enough sprinkles on the back part of the alfalfa that we couldn't bale it.
