I finally got the last of the bales moved off my little hay fields...

With that done, i decided some of those fields needed feeding! So, i hooked up the "spreader" and headed to my buddys house..

His farm is 5 miles from mine so it's 10 miles round trip every load, and here's what i went to get...

Now, with the spreader loaded and back at the farm, i'm ready to spread the manure on the fields so "next years" hay crop will be even better than this years was!!

Now, hopefully we will get some rain so the turkey poop "fertilizer" will go down to roots of the plants, where it can do some good!!

I hope you liked the picts...

I normally put lots of TP on my grass fields i cut for mulch... TP really makes the grass grow, so i get lots of mulch from a smaller space, and the grass mulch i harvest off those fields is perfect for the gardens being second generation TP... LOL
