Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Thanks Jerry. I’m very interested in your raised beds. Really thinking I should start some of my own. Past few years have been using my dad’s. He won’t be using them anymore. They are certainly more knee and back friendly and you can still grow a lot of produce in a small area.
Thanks Glis.
I’m glad to know someone is watching. Not sure how popular this might be, but I like trying to bring the land back to people if I can’t bring the people back to the land.
Since seems to be a little interest here’s another project we are working on.
Now that we switched to a 18 row planter our 4 row beet digger won’t be right. 4 isn’t devisable into 18 evenly. I can’t dig rows planted from two different passes of the planter. The rows need to be spaced perfectly.
Now I can use a 6 row beet digger. It will take three passes of six rows for each pass of 18 with the planter.
We used to have 4 passes of 4 rows for 16 row planter. So hopefully this will help with beet harvest.
Lots of beet growers around here have switched to the new self propelled harvesters and the old pull type can be bought for scrap price. Of course that’s about what they are worth because the wear and tear parts are expensive and many.
We got this 6 row pull type machine and are reconditioning it. We are going to rob some parts off our old four row. Tank, ferries wheel and elevator will be swapped. Putting in several new grab rolls and all new bearings. All new digger wheels. By the time where done we will have 6x what we paid for it, but that’s pretty normal.
Thanks for watching. Please feel free to add your farm or garden

By the way. Smoked summer sausage turned out great and so did the jerky.
Wish you could smell and taste it
