The first thing we Terry does is disk all the corn stalks not eaten by the cows
Of course, nothing ever goes smoothly, one of the disks had to collect a big wad of mud. The only thing to do is to pry it out

The range cows are headed to another pasture, our farm is all used up for food
The chickens are enjoying dust baths
Tallen does NOT want to ride on the tractor
And the snow is starting to melt in the mountains! Yeah for Spring!
