TRUCK REPAIRS, SOWING CANOLA DOUBLE DAM 2013.

Gear box on truck has broken, Pa is taking out the two shafts and blocking up so dust can't get in. This is a temporary job so we could deliver the grain and then take the truck in for repairs.

Assembling everything to start sowing canola in the double dam paddock. The wings have to be lowered. Reminds Nana of how the boys line up all the toys and play with them. The canola will be sown into dry soil, no rain as yet.
 
Back view of the one of the banks of rollers, there are three.

Merc Benz truck with the super, Tractor, and seeder, rollers have been disconnected. Not very clear hope you can work out how everything works!!

Hoping for lots of rain, then we can really start the cropping in earnest. It has been very dry, their hasn't been a decent rain since last September, had some small showers that don't make the ground very wet.
May is nearly here, 4 months of the year have just come and gone so quickly.
Hope all are well, and that Spring has arrived in the UK after such a cold and snowy winter.
Love you all.
