Hoggin' Snow

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

Well, I suppose, if you have nothing better to do (like stay at home, by the fire). Can't say much myself - having climbed onto deer hunting stands, before dawn, in such weather.

Ditto, been in the stands freezing when the fire was warm at home, but its all those dang deers fault, they made me do it!

I do remember seeing a farmer in Germany in Jan. 1994 plowing with about 4-6 inches of snow on. Had those plows that turn over so he could go back up the same furrow. Sure made me look while driving by on the Autoban.

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

My one brother-in-law bought a large batwing mower a number of years ago to shred up the stalks. He told me there were pests (forget which ones) that had a tougher time surviving the Winter if their stalk "homes" were chopped up............chim

Re: Hoggin\' Snow

One thing I thought was kinda weird. He didn't do the whole field. Just the perimeters. Which if he would have just made one pass around the outside I could have kinda understood and thought he was just cleaning up weeds, but he made probably 2 or 3 passes around the whole thing including the side that butts up to another. Guess that is why I'm not a farmer I don't understand.
