A convoy of trucks bringing drought relief to South Australian farmers

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382021) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Jul

A current photo of South Australia’s farmlands would show lush green paddocks. However, the area is just coming out of a very severe drought. Ewes have been abandoning their lambs because they have no milk for them, and farmers...

Scenes Around the Neighborhood

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 28 May 21

Took another ride around the neighborhood for a little while. Such a nice day. Lots of sunshine and blue skies after all the rain. A few errands to get done before the holiday weekend. Not too many people out thankfully. Those...

I'm in for a load of work today

Titia Geertman @TitiaG (251) • Netherlands 14 Jan 21

Weather conditions have come to a point that I have to start feeding my sheep some hay. This morning it snowed a bit. My flock stays outside all year 'round but as the temps drop lower and lower the grass is losing the much needed...

I hope it comes back

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 2 Jul 20

We had lightning most of the night and some rain this morning. I sure hope it comes back. Then I will not have to mow or water anything. Today is going to be an indoor day again. I got up early but found that I needed a nap on...

Been Busy on the John Deere

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 19 Jun 20

Just kidding. I don't have a John Deere tractor. Snapped this photo out the car window earlier today. Had some errands to run. Always cool to see the farms, tractors, cows and hay bales. All the cows were sleeping under the...

Making Bale

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 9 Jun 20

Nope, not a typo. Not making bail, but the harvesters are making bales. Large round bales of hay from the grass that they swathed, dried and collected. I always like to go out and see how many they come up with. It seemed really...

Resistant

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 6 Jun 20

I have such a hard time getting in here I am resistant to even try. And it has been a really hot day today. When I go away from the house early in the day, I get very little done on the yard. I will probably go out about 7:30...

Now how do we get down?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382021) • Rockingham, Australia 18 May 20

After my recent post of a load of hay about to fall from a cart, I thought you might enjoy this photo of a completed hay-stack. Before the advent of tractors, in the days when draught horses were used for ‘horse-power’, much land...

What do you think happened next?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382021) • Rockingham, Australia 16 May 20

I thought I was going to be able to write about a photo shoot involving a Clydesdale horse called Hamish and his people. But the lady has had to cancel due to a sick child. So I thought you might like to see this very old photo...

Make hay while the sun shines

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 11 Jun 19

My home is across the road from a large field. When they had a school here it was the football field. Now, they have some disc golf cages in a course. Some people ride dirt bikes here. I have seen families fly kites because there...

Hay Shortage

Nanette Piotrowski @nanette64 (20363) • Fairfield, Texas 30 Jan 19

Ya know, considering the size of Texas, you'd think we'd be the ones with enough fields to grow hay. Well with the drought we had last summer, it's been tough and a lot of our locals here in the middle of Texas have had to have...

It is gonna come down

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 28 Jan 19

If there is a loose branch on any nearby tree today it is gonna come down. The wind is horrible. Looking out my front window to the empty field the hay seems to be bowing and nodding. It is going mostly from east to west....

Make hay while the sun shines.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 17 Jun 18

The field across from me is just slightly larger than a football field. It used to contain the High School Football field when Florence had its own schools. Last night I watched someone come out and check the grass. Next thing I...

Childhood memories of my own

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382021) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Dec 17

Shubhu (@shubhu3) wrote a post about childhood memories. You can catch up here: http://www.mylot.com/post/3133573/childhood-memories. An old photo came to mind when I read Shubhu’s discussion. I grew up on a farm and loved every...

My shredded wheat used to look like this

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 21 Jun 17

Nowadays we get frosted mini wheats and other mini versions of shredded wheat. We used to get big biscuits of shredded wheat that were shaped like pillows. It all tastes pretty much the same, but I used to love the big round...

And it is rumbling again

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 20 Jun 17

We heard another rumble. This time it is the rumble of machinery. About the same time as wheat harvest, people cut hay from random fields. Fields like the one across the street from me. This was formerly a football field, so it...

What a Waste

Nanette Piotrowski @nanette64 (20363) • Fairfield, Texas 30 Sep 16

I don't know about the town where you all live, but every year starting about the middle of September, all of the businesses start putting out decorations for the upcoming holiday; which in this case is Halloween. Part of the...

Empty Barn is now a Full Barn

Morgan @OneOfMany (12150) • United States 22 Jul 16

Towards the end of June my barn's loft was empty and re-stained. Now, less than a month later, bales reach up to the ceiling and the four fields are done (as of yesterday). I probably got anywhere between 4 and 5 thousand loaded...
