But, I also do an awful lot of walking.<br /><br />About half of the farm is only accessible by foot (or it's a lot quicker to just walk) so I don't have much choice but to walk.<br /><br />I'll walk the fences to check them, walk when I'm checking on the cattle or moving them, walk to scout for deer or turkeys, walk if it's too muddy to drive in the pasture, walk to check the wheat fields, or just walk to see how the grass is growing. <br /><br />There's an old saying about "...the best fertilizer is a farmer's footsteps...", and it might be that the best exercise for a farmer is a farmer's footsteps.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412944120622315804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-81616101800551632882013-02-25T21:42:04.927-06:002013-02-25T21:42:04.927-06:00Great to find your blog.
