Conservation and StewardshipIn the FieldsIn the Woods

A Job For The Chain Saw

Logs that washed in during high water are under maple trees near river.Down near the river, under the maple trees, logs washed in during the high water we had this winter.

As we were dragging the harrow around the far field, we noticed the 3 log sized trees wedged in and around the big maples.

This area is outside the hay field and the big maples are a favorite spot for the cows to hang out during the hot summer days. Before the summer gets into full swing, I’ll start cutting up the logs into firewood and hauling them to the house a Gator load at a time.

It’s a hazard if the trees were left where they are because they could start a log jam that couldĀ  cause damage when they broke loose during extreme flooding.
