Well, As I stated a couple weeks ago, we shut down the maple syrup evaporartors. The weather turned off sunny and warm and all hands shifted to working the ground and getting oats in the ground here at Clinton Camp Farm. That left 2300 sap buckets still hanging in the woods. We hired a couple Amish lads that have worked for us 3 years now, for two afternoons, to help get the buckets down, and set at the sides of the roads in the bush. The weather turned of real crappy last week, and got more snow last week, so things didn't progress as planned. Sunday morning one of my cousins and I went up to the bush and finally picked up the last of the buckets, and I brought them down to my house to wash the remaining 1200 yesterday and today. Boy am I glad that project is done, as I get soaked to the bone, even with coveralls on washing the buckets out with the pressure washer in each session. I washed the last 539 buckets this afternoon. There are 1200 bkts in these pics., plus 39 leakers of to the side that need repair. I posted pic back a while ago of the stack of 1100 bkts. Tomarrow one of my cousins and I will pressure wash the evaporator pans and cover them with Tyvek until next year and get all the buckets into 25 count stacks and into storage in the sap house if it doesn't rain tonight and they get wet again. The next to last pic., May Flowers in full bloom, and Leeks, and wild Chives are all ready for harvest. Sounds like some good Venison stew to me. HeHe. The last pic is of my coveralls drying in front of the fireplace. I wish it would warm up so I don't have to keep burning wood that I will have to cut this summer to replace. Loren, the Acg.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
