Having worked with a poultry farm and being from a rural area, and understanding a lot of the effort it takes to run a successful farm operation, i just want to say thank you to you, your dad, and your entire family for your dedication and commitment in providing a quality product to your community. Everyone thanks the military and emergency responders, but very few thank the people who keep everyone fed. The people whose job never ends. The people like you. Thank you. And God bless.

    You Erik live an incredibly dangerous profession. The HD equipment with sharp edges drives me and your insurance carrier over the edge. But tell at least 1 to 2 people where you are and task. My son in law cousin was killed last year on a dairy farm in Connecticut. He was working alone when a hydraulic failure pinned him to a wall & ground. So my respect for you is over the the top. Peace!

      That is what amazes me about this project. They were smart in using a POWER BUGGY to help place the concrete, but I didn’t see any grade stakes, no screeds of any kind, no laser concrete placer to help place this large of a floor. This is a LOT of ready mix concrete for 4-5 men to place, they have a limited window of time to be able to get it placed, leveled and then grooved. They did a mighty job, it looks good. What strength of concrete are they placing for the floor? A nice addition for your farm system Eric?
