Let the seeding begin......

We started seeding last Wednesday. So far Richard has finished the lupins, done most of the barley and he has started to seed the wheat. Seeding really is not too stressful for us. Richard will often work longer hours but he is always pretty close to our house so I still get to see him lots and getting meals to him really is not an issue. I am pretty lucky because a lot of women spend seeding cooking their little hearts out to feed their husbands + workmen and kids, while also maintaining a household, working another job and helping their husbands shift machinery.

Richard pulling straw out from under the air-seeder bar to stop blockages.
Noah pulling straw out from under the air-seeder bar because he was copying his Daddy.

Final check and it looks all good. Time to get back in the tractor. Noah has enjoyed a few rides in the tractor with Richard and like most boys his age; Noah is in awe of his Dad and the work he does in his big blue tractor!
