The start of seeding is at all times difficult, irritating, and nerve-wracking. The ultimate push to get the final particulars in place, getting logistics organized, getting used to being out within the discipline once more, it’s all exhausting to handle. Complicating that in 2023 is the extraordinarily moist circumstances we’re confronted with this yr. Could eighth is a late begin for us, and truthfully, we should always in all probability wait a number of extra days but. However the calendar says it’s time to go.
However, regardless of all of it, seeding is among the most enjoyable occasions of the yr; the chance to play one other hand with Mom Nature, the promise that every new crop yr brings, is deeply exhilarating.
Farming isn’t solely concerning the cool tools, although, and even concerning the fairly crops.
It’s about households. It’s about generations. It’s about constructing a legacy.
Perhaps drone movies have turn out to be a cliche nowadays. I nonetheless love them. And my youngsters love watching them. And what higher method is there to have a good time the beginning of a brand new crop yr than to overview the highlights of the final one? So, right here it’s: my drone and photograph collage from our 2022 crop yr. Credit score to my sister, Sarah, for lots of the images.
