    I am very familiar with the weed fighting and watering in summer and have a disk just like you. But we pull it behind the forecart because that is more comfortable for me at my age. It is important to have a reliable horse for that work like Jane. It is good that you let her rest ever so often in the heat. I also use the scythe a lot, make windrows and then use them for mulch to suppress the weeds.

    I know it's the modern way, but why are you "Fortner Farms"? Do you own more than one farm? Nice to see that many people participate in the wagon train. It takes well behaved horses and mules to do that. I know that, because I did carriage rides and hay rides for the public for many years.
