The chickens and pigs need some corn! We rigged up a motor to an old corn sheller. Made it so the RPMs were just right by 2 sets of pulleys with the correct ratios. No more hand cranking here!

The snow is melting, but now it really is a muddy mess. This stuff needs to dry up soon, so I can get back to work on pasture renovation projects at my farm and others.
