Ayup got a job offer today.:) Here are some pictures of some of the rocks I picked off the plot. Why one is blurry I don't know but I think it will serve. Plenty more where they came from.

Congrats on the job! Hope you enjoy it.

Oh yeah, piles of rocks. :) I have a general waste pile that is rocks plus tree roots and chunks. I'm sure the weasels will love it for years to come.

Some areas I pick are fairly uniform sized rock that I am using for base to build up a swamp crossing.

Deer plots are fun.
I have a couple of them up at my land.
I usually turn mine over every two or three years but I got a bad season last year so I'm doing it over this year.
I turned it over about 3 weeks ago and then disced it 2 weeks ago but we've had enough intermittent rain that I can't get back in there to broadcast the seed.
Here's my newest tractor on the disc.

Looks like it is doing a good job of it.

Time for an update. The job is going well enough so I haven't got much done around the place but the rains came and the seeds sprung and the plot doesn't look too bad. Plenty of deer tracks in it too. I'm thinking of plowing under just one third of it to have something fresh and green in the fall after the oats have gone by on the rest of it.
Anyhow this is how it looks this afternoon.

I am impressed with how well that ground grew rocks. With all my clay, I actually enjoy when a nice rock pops up. The field really looks great.

I'd happily give you half of mine no charge. There is such a world of difference between the coastal plain of Virginia and the hill tops of eastern Vermont. Hard to work and not suited to equipment that is designed for flat ,rock free land but still there is quite fertile soil between the rocks and usually plenty of rain fall. Now if I could just get some more growing degree days when I have a crop in the ground instead of late and early frost crimping the growing season I could go back to farming for a living.
