Every farm has a list of tasks that they have to get done. Then there is the other list of things that fall into the "if I had an extra moment". Well we are finally getting the time to tackle one of those projects, the windmill. A while back we got approval and the permit to stand a 1920's windmill on the farm. While the 18 acre patch that we currently farm does not seem to have ever had a windmill, the commonality of them on farms of the period is profound.
So here is step one, level the site and prepare for footings. This will be a fun project for us and I will keep you posted.
