Well, the tractor is in a field and it did do a little work, but!!!!
I need to seed a 1/4 mile long waterway I graded last fall so I wandered out that way a couple of days ago to check it out and it was fairly dry, so yesterday I did a little more blading in a few places and then disked it up. There is about six inches of thawed soil at most above the frost so I could get down deep enough to loosen it up good, but in the low black soil it was plenty chunky. The weatherman talks lows in the teens for the next few days and I'm hoping the freeze-thaw will soften the chunks enough to make a good seed bed.

The tractor is tucked back in the shed and the disk is back resting on the crickbank in it's usual parking place so I can declare spring fieldwork officially ended for awhile.
We are drier than I would like to see for this time of year and I saw some huge long cracks out there in the field so I'm hoping the rains will quit going around us soon. Jim
