I'm in western pa. My cows are on grass I grew in August. That will end around the first of the year, then they go on corn stalks. I lay a months worth of bales out in front of them when the weather is fit ( no mud) and I divide the field with polyrope. Move the cows to fresh bales every few days on foot, flip the black plastic pipe feeders onto the next bales. And no, they don't waste as much as most claim would happen, they only get fresh bales when the previous ones are gone. The result is a field that is evenly covered with manure, tilled and mixed in by the cows. Some spots are a bit rough to chisel through, but that field will go to beans next year and they wil be the best on the farm. Water is provided by a spring development that cows have an access alley to get to it. Water flows through it and NEVER freezes completely due to the constant flow. No hogging through the mud, no starting a tractor except a few times to lay more bales out when the weather is fit. Works for me. Btw, the fields the cows are on are the only fields that see any tillage tools, we are 100% no till on the rest.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
