Tractor Trouble

Well, my first day on the tractor was a success. Sort of. I didn't run over any sprinkler heads (though I did come within 3 inches one time!), and I got a good chunk of the orchard mowed. However, halfway into the morning I noticed a hydraulic leak, so I had quit early. I was a bit nervous that the tractor would malfunction with me on top of it. Call it the Midas touch, Dowdy-style.

Each day is a new adventure of sorts, as I learn more and more about agriculture. It is also refreshing to work and live with others who have actively ponder and seek out social justice in the name of Christ. On top of that, it continually gives me a challenge to continue growing and learning.

Sadly, that's all I can post for now because I have to get ready for bed. I do hope to post more later, but tomorrow starts early for me as I have a meeting with other farmers of pecan orchards.

Peace,

Aaron
