Tractor

I know you have just been waiting on the edge of your seats for me to show what happened to that wheat field, right? Unable to move on and function on a normal daily level because I just left you hanging. Well I'm sorry about that so here I am to show you just what happened to that wheat field.
What is that?
Is that a dust storm? We do have some killer wind here on some days but this seems to be localized! What in the world? I honestly hear music in my head right now...
Cue suspense, entrance music! Whatever it is...it's heading towards our home! AHhhhh!!!!


Wait a minute!! It's a tractor!

Tractor, Tractor!!!

Sorry for the screen shot. I was in my room when I heard this loud humming sound and had to quickly grab my camera for this shot! I was quite excited I tell ya.

It's tilling the wheat field. I wouldn't try to ever pretend to be any kind of expert in farming...heh but I tried to do a bit of research on the difference between tilling and plowing.
Tilling is supposed to be gentler on the earth and recurring crops and prevents clumping or something. Most farmers around here seem to till rather than plow...especially when it concerns the wheat fields. We will have to see if they plant wheat again this coming season...


It took this this guy about 8 or 9 hours that he split into two days. Guess this is not his only field.

When he pulled into the field, the tiller was in a drive position so he could drive the tractor on the road and not till up the only means to getting to the next town for supplies. It was pretty scary I have to say. It was all spiky and pointy and well...really scary. It tears that ground up people!!!
Anyway, thought I'd share this with you. Now you can resume with your normal daily activities. Sorry to suspend your living like that.

Take a break and I'll let you know what happens next but just so ya know...it will be a few months before anything else happens...I think.
