The Farming Report 7/31

HI! Matt here with more on the way we do stuff on the farm! :) Today we will look at how we Row tonal. Row Tunnel is when we cover the plants with a plastic covering to help them grow faster. (Its like a mini green house)

Here is what a row tunnel looks like.

 

This is the machine called the "Row tunneler"

 

 

To start out the boys pile dirt on the plastic to hold it down.

 

 

The dirt is put on the edge of the plastic to hold it down.

 

 

There are wires that are put in the ground to hold the plastic up.

 

 

These are the bundles of wires that are put in the machine.  

 

 

And here is the finished product!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed!

 

 

 

 

Ask Abbie 7/30

Hi! Abbie Here! And in celebration of Ruthie's Birthday On Thursday we have Question about birthday party's.

Dear Abbie,
For my birthday I am inviting two of my friends over. But one Really, really hates the other girl. How can i make them be the best of friends?
In The Middle

You can't! If you really don't think they will get along, don't risk ruining your birthday by forcing bickering buds together. instead spend time with each of them separately. Go out with one  of them during the day and invite to other one over for a sleepover that night. You'll have a much happier birthday that way.

Verse Of The Week 7/28

Hiyah! Christina here and this weeks Verse is from Psalms 10

 10:1 ¶ Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
 2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
 3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
 5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
 8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
 9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
 10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
 12 ¶ Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
 14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
 15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
 17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
 18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
(KJV)

Love Yah Lots!
