Scramble, scramble

Weather has turned good and we are in a tizzy trying to get the last bits of cutting and welding done for the corn seeder. Should be ready to field test tomorrow afternoon. Man! this agricultural design can be as mind bending as software engineering. So many different intentions working together towards a single purpose all having to mesh perfectly and move in the correct manner and synchronization.

Saw a big osprey or small eagle fly over today as I was exiting the greenhouse. My glasses were still foggy so I couldn't pin the variety down any closer. Looked really cool though.

The big deer fence is finally a success. Had one interloper that lost quite a bit of hair to the barb wire so we stretched one more length of smooth wire at the top to reach 7+ feet. No new incursions since. The cabbage will be safe.

Wishing you all a smooth, mellow night and a venturous day.

Some people scoff about universities having entire departments dedicated to agriculture, but they are only revealing their own ignorance about how important and complex it really is.
