Thinking back to the early days of farming, lugging pipes from one end of the paddock to the other to hook up to movable water tanks, I can’t help but appreciate how much we’ve learned, and sweated, along the way.
On the new lease block, I was determined to start things off right, so tackling the water infrastructure properly became top priority.
My trusty/not-so-trusty tractor had its fair share of hiccups along the way, but persistence paid off. Finally, with a little less hair and a fully working tractor, I got the pipe laid. It surprised me how easily the right equipment pulls through the soil with as little disturbance possible, folding back into place so neatly that you’d never know it was there.
Once the job was done, I managed to sneak away for a couple of days with my nephews. A bit of sunshine, laughter, and fishing by the water was just the reset I needed.
Hope your weekend brought some joy and maybe a chance to unwind with family as well.
Warm regards,
Shannon
P.S. As always, thank you for being part of our farming journey. Your support means the world to us. 😊
