Life on the Farm

Yes we have a few species of them here. Even a Rattlesnake. Which is protected. Not very big either. I’ve never seen one but have been told they can be found less than Twenty miles from me. They aren’t very big. Maybe three feet long and 1” diameter.
We have milk snakes, garners and green snakes too.
Mostly I see garners which are good snakes. I don’t kill them. It does seem like one week of the year that they are wandering. I’m guessing mating but I’m not a snake expert. I just know I see them slithering towards the road ditch while driving my tractor down the road. If I find a roadkill I pick it up.

They have a nice pattern all around though and I like the small scales. I think smaller snakes look nicer on a bow than big ones.
bjrogg:
Here’s another roadkill I picked up.
Only one I’ve seen but my brother said he saw one in the same area this roadkill was found years earlier.
I think it an eastern milk snake if I remember correctly.
Very pretty pattern. Got a couple set of eyes looking for another one.

Nice ! A friend of Mine that lived in Fenton, used to get Lots of the Masaugua (sp) Rattlers every Year. We took one up to Larry that owned the Marina in Harbor Beach. (=) Bob.

Thanks Bob. I’ve been told there’s a tree in swap that always has a bunch of them in it. I’ve never seen one myself.
Last week I spent two days going to doctors appointments and three days going to meetings.
Doctors appointments went pretty good
Meetings were ok. Learned a few new things. Alway interesting visiting with other farmers and comparing how they operate.
One of the meetings was put on by Star of the West. They recently purchased an aerial drone. It is capable of seeding cover crops in standing crops without damaging them. It also is can spray them.
They had it displayed. It was pretty interesting and everyone had to check out the new toy.
I do think there is a place for them and I suspect there will be more capabilities for them in the future.
Lord knows they are sure using them in Ukraine.
