Before extending the line across the north pasture and blocking my access to the pastures, I drove to the pastures and gathered some wood for this Winter's fireplace heat. I got a pickup load. Need to unload the wood before hauling the cow to the vet tomorrow. Last year I didn't gather these wood pieces in time before irrigating and ended up soaking them for the season.
Back before I started irrigating, and after I baled and stacked my hay, I used the haybine to cut the yarrow weeds in the middle pasture, and then the baler to bale and remove the weeds. Before my haying misadventures I had been spraying to kill the weeds. But since the haying took so long the yarrow went to seed and the plants started to go dormant. Last year I used a lawn mower to mow the yarrow patches. Using the haybine and baler were easier and quicker.
I could easily see the line where I had stopped spraying the weeds.
