During my project i will be working in various ways with different types of agricultural land. I will be fencing in some pastures for beef cattle and also be re-seeding another pasture for hay. This will entail plowing the land and harrowing it. Then i will be adding Various natural fertilizers and finally seeding the field. I will also be working with a stand of maple trees. These trees will eventually be part of a working sugar bush.

thursday
Today was a good day with the completion of the spring tight fence in the back pasture. All the post were pounded in the wire was strung and the ends were connected so electricity could flow threw to the new section. this fence served as a final exam of my fencing skills considering i had to put all my skills to use. In the past couple of weeks i have worked with temporary fence, spring tight fence, and other various ways of fencing. With most of my pastures fenced in and fixed now it is time to move onto the next page of my project which is cultivation of fields. I will be learning how to till the field, fertilize the field, and seed the field. At the other end of my project tomorrow will be a good day with the help of Brad again we should be making a good amount of head way of the foundation for the sugar house. My goal would be to have the area ready for concrete by the end of next week.
