I LOVE seeing photos of the horses work!

I'll bet Bill and Bob are enoying being out there working. They really are beautiful animals...so regal.

Again, I have to say how interesting it is for me to learn about what running the farm entails. For a suburban girl like me, I get tired just reading about all that work!

For Bill & Bob this kind of stroll through the field must seem like a cake walk instead of having to drag a plow through muddy or hard baked soil. Do I hear a soft neigh of agreement in the background??

Way to go! Hard work but worth it. I hope you get a bumper crop.

If you'd wear black pants and hat you'd look decidedly Amish!

I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE. WHAT YOU DO TO BE SELF SUSTAINING IS WONDERFUL. THE HAY LOOKS GOOD FOR THE FIRST CUTTING. WE HAVE BEEN VERY DRY HERE IN NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS SO WE MIGHT BE BUYING HAY FROM YOU THIS FALL - HA!

That looks so fun! (But I know is dusty and sticky...)

I really admire what you are doing to get away from the huge pet food corporations and agribusiness. That has become high on my agenda for after I retire, when I have time.

A-MA-ZING! It's beautiful!

Your combination of old school, ie: BillyBob and newer machinery is so cool. The best of both worlds.

Bill and Bob always look so proud of themselves. (As they should really, that's hard work!)

Now I'm even more curious. Where are you going to put the haystacks? How big can you make them in your area without them rotting at the bottom? Are you going to cover them? Here in WA. state, it wouldn't work, rain would ruin it.
How many acres are you haying, and will you still need to buy some?
I just love driving through local fields during haying season, the smell is a true gift. I'll bet if you are in sight of the roads, people stop to watch you haying with horses. Wish I was closer, I'd come and sit for hours just watching and lend a hand it you needed it!

You guys are amazing in all you do!
Wouldn't want to spoil it with a "reality" show, but boy, it'd sure be a good one! It truly is interesting, the things you do and how you do them - even in the 21st century!
Love the pics of Bob & Bill. They are gorgeous!

M-m-m! I bet it smells good. Will you be able to get 2 cuttings this summer? Do you use manure or what to fertilize the field?

That is so cool!! I didn't know you could put it up loose. You guys aways amaze me with all that you do and also taking care of all you animals. You are such a blessing!!!!

Cool!
