Back in early April I began to work myself into farmer shape after months of leisure in the OFH. Then came six weeks of miserable weather and that conditioning was lost. Now that the tractor's operational again it's time to get back in shape.
Today I finished plowing and put the plow away for another year. The shiny plow-shares and mold-boards need protection from rust. If they rust plowing next year is difficult. The best protection is plow-paint. So, I painted, before parking the plow.
True the work is not physically all that demanding. But there is enough exercise to show that I need to get into 'farmer shape.' It's a 'good tired' that comes with a feeling of accomplishment.

PS I decided not to buy the 48 row planter described is yesterday's blog.

Good decision on the long planter! What’s plow paint? Long ago in Iowa my dad and grandpa used grease. SNO
