Favorite farm activities???

1) Raking hay and smelling that incredible sweetness on a summer morning.

2) Riding a grain binder and working the foot pedal to operate the basket, laying the bundles in a straight line across the field.

3) Helping a cow give birth by pulling out the calf, watching it struggle to its feet and give out its first "bwaaahhhh."

4) Climbing up in a silo in a winter night, when you can see your breath, listening to the echo of everything.

2. Tending the Orchard.

3. Selling the produce we grew at a road side stand in front of the house.

#3. Harvesting

probably the best... walking back to the house on a bright, clear night, taking a little time after a good day's harvest to admire God's handywork... the millions of bright stars on a black velvet blanket so close that you can almost touch them

2.Helping neighbor bale hay with his Super WD-9

3.When i was little i would watch the neighbor harvest his corn field across the street for hours on end.

2. Using one of my old Farmalls

3. Laughing at those Orange ones!

2. Chopping corn and filling silo

3. Listening to the lids on the hog feeders bang shut knowing that the piggers are gaining weight.
(I know kinda sick but hey, you asked.

2. Manure spreading. Get a nice big load in the spreader, and make Dad's old Massey 44 roar when up in 4th gear going up a hill.

3. Trucking for the neighbors, hauling grain a mile from the field with their old three tons.

Specter
Alberta, Canada

#1 Driving tractors, especially driving them better at 9 years old when i wasn't supposed to, then some of the guys who were 30+ who were allowed to.

#2 Haulin hogs to market, with a 3\4 ton gmc and a pos trailer(kept me out of the barn for a bit)

#3 Haulin manure with a 3600g huskey and a 2394 case and almost hitting several city folk and a cop

#4 Helpin dad with releif milkin, and running the feed cart and not putting it in the gutter or manger.

My favorite three things.
1) Fixing smething I didn't think I could fix.
2) Looking at a half mile of nice newly constructed wire fence where a tangle used to be
3) The last swipe of the field at the end of harvest.

2. Cutting hay, fresh cut alfalfa is in 2nd place behind freshly tilled soil.

3. Harvest. Seeing the results of several months of planning, hard work, and a little luck bring back a little bit of profit to re-invest is another feeling I love.

4. Chopping silage with the 1086 and Gehl chopper going 6 mph and listening to that straight pipe bellar!

5. Running the trucks through all the gears with a full load of wheat... splitting all the gears sounds awesome!

2. Planting

3. Calving cows.

I think every one will agree on worst of shoveling the dung.
