Since we did not get any snow at all and the ground thawed out but then lightly refroze, we hauled manure on four different farms today. My middle son started on pen pack cattle manure while I finished his chores. The youngest son got the liquid hose system out and then he an I started stirring the hog barn pits after chores. My Mother and one Daughter-in-law started running the disk rippers right after chores too. Second Oldest son took off work at noon and started hauling cattle manure on the rented cattle yard. Late morning the youngest son and I started pumping the hog barn pits. That manure gets directly injected into the ground very little smell. I came in for supper and he had just finished empting the pit. Covered 80 acres like it should have.
The middle son got the home farm cleaned up and switched to the youngest son's farm mid afternoon. Second oldest got done at the rented yards just before supper and he is helping the others get done.
My oldest Grand daughter got off work and took over for my Mother on the one disk ripper. She will run it until around midnight and then I will take over until morning. One of my high school age grand daughters took over for her Mother in the other ripper after school. She will run it until Her father, my second oldest son takes over after supper. He will run until after mid-night and then the youngest son will take over until morning.
Confused yet????? LOL Sounds more complicated than it is with everyone working together. We had quite the age spread too. My Mother at 84 put in 8 hours running the ripper. She will be back at 6 am too. The youngest tractor driver was the High school age Grand daughter at 14, she will only put in 4-5 hours but has home work to do. She has a straight four point so far this year. GREAT!! The two other younger Grand daughters, did all the non tractor feeding chores. So they where a big help too. They are 12 and 13. So we went from 12 to 84 in ages. Not a bad day for the family.
P.S. My Youngest son and I took turns running the injector on the hose system. The other could cat nap while listening/watching the pit pumps. So I am going to lay down here in a few minutes until 11.30 PM or so. We will be pretty well rested actually for tonight. As cold as it is going to get just turn the heater off and you will wake up fast enough. LOL I will bet that we will have to quit tillage at sun down tomorrow as the frost will get too thick to get through. Right now it is only a few inches deep and not real hard yet.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
