Feedlot Cleanup

I mentioned in my roundup last Friday that the former feedlot along Higley is looking better all the time. Here's a bird's eye view:



The stripe across the feedlot is where The First Cousin's son, our farm manager, has "ripped" it. This means he used a tool that digs down about 2 feet deep, trying to see how deep the manure is, and also if he might end up catching irrigation pipes. You need soil (not just manure) to grow anything,; and it appears that in some places it is in fact deeper than 2 feet.
