Moving DIRT!

Dad and I take the opportunity to get back into the dirt to finish a land improvement project. Join us as we finish up the last few terraces.

Drone shots are great. You make is look easy. It has to be done right or no cost sharing, right? Looks like it will do the job. Hope you get some rain!!

Hey man. Fairly new subscriber. Love watching your content. I’m a first generation beginning farmer just a little south of Kansas City. How did you learn to make terraces and how much $ are they to put in yourself if you have equipment or rent equipment to do it vrs hiring it done? Hope those bad storms up your way missed you guys

[sethharrison]

How did you make out with the storm that hit Iowa?

[iowafarmhandanf]

You need some good help to survey those now. 😉

Do you ever use the ripper on that dozed?

[erickuehn]

Hey I know this is late are you making these for yourselves or for other people? @iowanfarmer

[richardwilliams]

Hey, i wanted to see the fertilizer cart rehab at the end.

[breezyridgeranch]

What is the purpose of putting these in?

[LdHrothgar]

I could really use a dozer like that for a week or so... heck, the skidsteer would be better than my little 40hp tractor.

[JackFrost-mtdh]

Do you need and special training to use a dip stick to check the fuel level? Lol

[jwhitleywhitleyfarms]

I hate terraces with a passion i live in Tennessee the home of steep, rough, rocky, hills, and terraces with giant sink holes everywhere

Have you ever thought of starting your own tiling and terracing business? You seem to enjoy the sandbox a lot.
