The Fox Tail Massacre

We have a mess, a mountain, a multitude of fox tails on this farm.
So, Boyd took it upon himself to annihilate them or at least lay them out flat.




I have used this sickle bar mower before and I can guarantee it gives you a work out.  Plus, it makes me very afraid to get anywhere near the teeth.

 But, it does a great job of cutting down even the worst foxtails.

Weed Control/Fire Prevention

It is so hot the squash is wilting.

 Boyd disced down the pastures since the weeds were more than waist high and dry as dry can be.

 Everything looks better now and we don't have to worry so much about the dry lightening storms we have had lately.

 I even cut down the weeds under the orchard.  It really looks better.

I used this sickle bar mower.  Kind of dangerous looking wouldn't you say?  I works just like a swather, the blades just move back and forth.
