Wifey never tended to that kind of stuff! Wonder if Softie tends to that kind of stuff!!

We got our hay in about 2 months ago and need rain bad. Its about 4" high right now. 6 weeks without rain almost killed the crop. We support all of the confined animal units and crop production. We also throw a lot of events (pre Covid).

Well, back to it.

Once the training was over, my VPN pooped the bed. Just got it fixed.

Chris, you should be able to go to your closest dealership and they might have different heights you can try before you buy.. find what you like and buy elsewhere cheaper.

Hey Lou!

Are the kids back full time, part time home / class, or home full time?

Only 5000 students on campus but our county just opened up because the election is over. I bet next semester we will allow everybody back.

Impressive Lou! Wifey just worked in the central office. Yeah, the weather this year has been crappy and different. Back when I was "helping" my dad, we never seemed to worry about that. And it always seemed to rain on the last day or two of picking up and storing the hay!! Always had that last wagon load that was the one rained on!! There is a large farm operation on campus, so I suspect they handle all the animal requirements. I know they have great ice cream!!! Kudos to you for working with the kids...if you do have some in your shop. I find that most have a direction and mission in life other than sucking on mommy and daddy's teat.
