Your rocks remind me of farming in Wigtownshire in Galloway Scotland, you would never be able to gather stones fast enough. Though some farmers believe that the soils warm faster in rocky stony areas. But they certainly tried in my area, hence the thousands of miles of drystone wall still in use today, great videos keep up the good work. 🏴👍

Some really awesome footage Mike! I see what you mean about the rocks there’s quite a few in that field. I can remember being younger and picking rocks by hand all day and then looking behind you and feeling like you didn’t even do anything lol. Also I was listening to Andy Hourigans Live stream the other day while I was in the tractor, and he was talking about a John Deere tractor that they traded in that you guys actually still have today. That’s pretty cool. Take care man hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe.
