Day one

5/9/22

On day one we arrived at the farm and were greeted by the friendly workers. After we were introduced and got a quick tour of the property we started to work. We started spreading mulch in three lines. 30 inches wide and 100 feet long, after we completed this task we got showed the multiple animals on the property such as pigs, cows, chickens, and other birds. Soon we had to weed the three, 100ft long rows of garlic plants before they grew too large to be able to weed them easily. The final task for the day was removing horseradish roots so they didn't
grow back this upcoming season. To complete this task we had to dig multiple holes and follow the roots to pull them up from the ground and make sure there was nothing left.

  Blog 8  5/18/22 Today we worked with the land manager John Solo and helped him with some of his daily tasks. We helped him with multiplep tasks. We srarted by loading wood into a trailer so he could bring it down to one of the resturants the farm supplies. This task took us a little while as it was a large trailor. Then we helped him spread minerals around multiple areas of the property to help the deer grow bigger and also help their antler size increase. We went to multiple different sites around the property and sister porperties to drop and spread these minerals. During this we got to ride on ATV’s to be able to reach areas more in the woods and not acsessable by road.  Today:10 Hours  Total: 80 Hours

George and Hank went and split logs and then proceeded to stack the wood. Connor and I had to shovel dirt into the back of a John deer Alligator and drove it over to an area that was recently paved and had to fill in the sides so they would be able to plant grass all the way up to the road. After lunch, we went over to the Co-op farm to work with farmer Jim again and helped him out with a couple little projects he needed to be done around the farm.  Today:10 Hours  Total: 90 Hours
