Pole barn project today. and a borrowed manlift.

Moved the cattle to a new paddock yesterday (like every day) and it just amazes me at how much the regenerative approach changes things. The first picture is from a video I made a couple years ago on how to connect hard fencing. Look at the ground and the grass in the back ground. Thats the same pasture (just viewed from outside the fence vs inside) as the second picture. No fertilizer. No herbicides. Just regenerative agriculture practices with animals on it for only 2 years. Wow!

We have a toilet and grinder pump in the basement. In the past year it has failed 3 times. Each time I take it out (what a mess) and inspect the pump for something blocking the grinder head and find nothing wrong. Today I heard it humming and decided to see if it was the start capacitor instead. We have a spare unit, so I got the start cap from that one and it works.

$14 part... will have two on hand from now on. The best part is the cap is in a dry part of the assembly, I don't have to suck the water out.

Two is one and one is none.

Ever wonder what goes into running a small regenerative farm that feeds your local community while still working a day job? That means leaving to go get feed at 5:30 after work yesterday and making a 4 hour round trip (getting home at 10pm) because its the only local non-GMO feed provider. It then means getting up before going to work today to get the feed unloaded and put up before some potential rain moves in. Smaller pickup this time with only 4,000 lbs. It makes for a long day from 5am to midnight working two jobs, but we love serving our community.

If you want to see the full picture of what that entails, check out the video below of a typical feed run for us.👇
