Great advice.

My biggest problem is that I am getting too old to work on all of my farm projects when it is 104! Much easier to get work done on those nice crisp fall days.

I think I will have to keep getting feeders out earlier. I always wondered why manufacturers made feeders that held 500# of feed. Now I realize that many people fill it and then set the feed rate to run out 2 days after the start of the season. They never go into their property for any work at all during the pre-rut and rut.
