major setback for a dairy farm

having contaminated milk in the bulk tank can cost you around 3 to 6 grand for loosing the milk. you really have to be carfull and watch what your doing while you milk.

planting season

early spring is coming around that means it's time to start getting the equipment ready for plowing and planting. it is possible to cover any where from 30 to 230 acers a day while sitting in a tractor plowing or planting. some of the longest hours you will ever work 10 to 15 hours a day all the way into june.
