WHAT'S UP ON THE FARM....

We are coming into the time of year my husband dislikes the most.  The summer may be a lot of work and long hours with all the field work and making hay.  But, in the winter my husband has to pull out hoses, fill the cattle water tanks, drain the hoses and pull them back to the house to put into the basement so they don't freeze up.  You see, our barn is old.  When we bought our farm the barn had a dirt floor with hitching posts in it.  It is not a dairy barn with a milk house so there is not a heated water system.  And pulling hoses to fill tanks is my husband’s least liked job on the farm.
