Sowin' Wheat

The guys have been sowin' wheat ninety to nothing.

They had over 7,000 acers to plant and that takes awhile.

Here KD loads his wheat drill the easy way.

He said this auger beats the heck out of a 5 gallon bucket. So how long will this filled wheat drill last? 3 hours according to Farmer KD and a truck will last a day.

So off he goes plantin' wheat or sowin' wheat, how ever you want to say it.... WHY you ask?
So the cows can eat this winter!! That's why and that's kind of important on this operation.

Chad and Butch have been planting like crazy too...
they are running the BIG drills KD says and they've been running over 2 weeks.

So who's this guy? This is Mr Chad (and little Mac) and he's the new guy on this operation.
He's great and we're real glad to have him.


And the reason his picture is on my blog???
well unfortunately he got bit by a rattlesnake yesterday....

He was sowin at Wayside, ran over a rattler, got out to kill him, the rattler was in between the dual wheels, and anyway the durn sucker got him. He's still in the hospital after receive a dose of anti-venom. Thankfully, he's going to be fine.

So yall be careful, watch out for rattle snakes! Ain't that what your Momma always said?!
