Started mowing an area on our farm called "the bottom" that is heavily traveled by the community's wild hogs.

Back in the early 60's my father and another man named Warren Montgomery cleared all the sweet gum and willow trees using axes.

I kept it mowed as a teenager with our Farmall Super C and Bush Hog rotary cutter.

When finished for the day, I'd park the Farmall under the large oak tree in the photo below.

It is still a pretty good old shade tree.

Saw only one water moccasin while I was mowing.

Didn't have my tape measure with me for proper measurement so I'm guessing the snake was about 2ft long.

Even though the weeds were taller than the tractor in some places, it still isn't as bad as it once was.

Higher up in one corner of the bottom is some very good Coastal Bermuda grass.

Even though it was shredded, we decided to rake it just in case someone wanted it.

The majority of "the bottom" is covered in Bahia grass as shown below just right of the tractor and rake.

Once it is cut back, Nancy will spray "the bottom" to kill out the broadleaf weeds and other trash plants.

We hope to get our first cutting off "the bottom" this time next year.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
