In keeping with the spring clean-up and planting theme of the weekend, Art cultivated the pasture behind the barn on Sunday. The pigs (whom we regretfully did not ring last year) had the run of it last spring and summer. In their constant and persistent search for roots of all kinds they did a number on the field, turning what was once a lovely clover-filled piece of land in to a lumpy and dead wasteland. We borrowed a 'culti-packer' from a friend- this goes on the back of the tractor and tills and evens out the ground. We will re-seed it with grass and by July we should be able to put the cows on it for a little rotational grazing (after putting up a better fence, of course)
