Andrew is getting ready to operate his disc/packer to break up the soil into smaller and smaller pieces prior to planting. He is cleaning out the packer rollers at the rear of the equipment train.
Off he goes now breaking up those lumps.
Notice the tractor he is driving has rubber tracks rather than tires.
Next to follow is the seeding of the fields. In this case Jeff is planting beans.
This field is called Sunny Side because it is located right next to the Sunny Side Nursery beside the highway to the ferries.
Another photo of seeding as a tight turn is made to start the next set of rows.
It is now getting into the latter days of May now. We are into our last day of spreading manure and we must get those seeds into the ground while the weather is good. Seeding is a very exacting operation. One must plant with the harvesting days in mind. It would not be good to have all the fields ready to harvest at the same time.
