Prepping the family farm to sell

It's always a little sad for me to see family farm land finally reach a generation that, often for many very good reasons, is no longer interested in living on an acreage.  This 78 acres has been in their family for a few generations but is being prepped to sell.  That's where I came in.

Like most days, this one started off with a beautiful sunrise over the subject property and an old outbuilding there.

After years of neglect, much of the land had been consumed by briers and brambles. See how they lean sideways? The sole purpose of this design is to poke as many holes as possible into the skin of the dude on the tractor!

No matter how hard I try to spot these obstacles before I hit them, every now and then some stray wire will sneak in and slow me down. This mess only took a few minutes to clear from the brush hog.

Clearing this fenceline was by far the toughest task of the morning.  Not only was it very steep, as you can see it was full of more brambles.

Even so, the finished product turned out great, don't you think!?
