Maple Syrup

There are not a lot of maple trees in Northeast Iowa, however it was fun for my Nephew to harvest the sap and make some syrup.  These pictures were recently sent to me with a request that I publish a post on how Iowa Tractor Boys are able to produce much of what they enjoy in life.  The pictures tell the story.

Fertilizer

a.k.a. Manure

 Shown here is a young Iowa Tractor Boy traveling to the field to spread manure from the cattle barn.  If you look closely you can also see two young farmers in the cab of this John Deere Tractor.  The youngest one is the nephew of the tractor operator and his important task is to open the gates from the cattle yard to the field.
