    Keep up the awesome work. Get the water flowing. Have a wonderful evening
  • The water movement after you ditched out the canal looked pretty good, by watching the bubbles float downstream. Good to see you are undefeated at scaring the beaver away...

    Good job! it's looking great! I have a friend who built a barn, they took a dozer to clean down, there was a stone quarry under it,so they cleaned off the barn size, made forms, poured the platforms, Everything is on a stone quarry!

    You will have to put the big blade on 7520 to level all your dirt piles out Keep up the good work making your farm look good 👍👌

    Duffy, I know it would be a stretch but if you could somehow to figure out how to keep that piece of machinery it would definitely help you and your farm prosper in the future, you have grown so much since I first started following you to see how much work you have done it excites me to see where you can go in the future, and it would open up a lot of doors for you! Just keep working, but try to be safe and take care of yourself, and try to keep that piece of equipment!! Truly enjoy your content!! Thanks for sharing!!

    Pound a steel T post in by outlets , put a 5' or longer chunk of white PVC pipe over, always stand out then Ditch looking good 👍
  • I go walking on the beach in my hometown daily and the shoreline changed overnight with the sand, seaweed, shells, rocks, sand bank, sand hill slowly eroding away, if there is enough water volume and speed it will shift silt, mud, rocks, trees, branches etc
  • We had beaver damage in corn one year they cut down all of wilows and soft wood and then 11 rows of corn and draged it in creek to dams. Only wood what they left was thorny acacia
  • Once dry, use it to build up the banks. You’ll notice a difference once everything has flow and can leach out

    Having the swale grown in filters the water and slows it down. Opening it now will sleep it up and send silt down until it grows back in.
  • @wadesellers7748
    Way to keep at it with the excavator. Your clen up won't happen until you get back down there to mow/till etc😅

    How much rain did you get, north central Pa got hit hard with major flooding. Also Woodhull and Jasper NY. Thinking of all those impacted by the flooding.
