Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Then a few pictures from my planter tractor. Sorry nothing fancy.

Could have used a canoe yesterday afternoon. We had a storm come through. It rained over three inches in just a few minutes. The water literally couldn’t get out of the fields fast enough.

By this morning stuff looked much better. We are flat landers, but actually we have a lot of “fall” (grade) to the lake. The water came very quickly. It didn’t leave quite as quickly but it ran off fast enough that it didn’t soak in as much as a day long 3” rain.
It’s never good to get 3” of rain on beans you just planted, but all of our beans were at least sprouted. That is very important.
The ponding didn’t last for days.
The first beans we planted were starting to heave the ground.
Hopefully they all make it and grow good.

We have had a few of them kind of rains lately, never good except for filling the pond. :) To bad we can't spread the rain we get in the spring over the whole summer, that would be great.My ground is mostly red clay/rock and hilly so it goes away pretty quick. ;) :)

Bj in my limited experience (only made some birch bark boxes) I've experienced very different types of birch bark qualities and reactions while collecting.
It's likely a lack of technique on my part but i suggest you to start making some test in collecting and preserving the bark
