Rolling Alfalfa Fields

Yesterday afternoon and evening I rolled the alfalfa fields.  We roll the alfalfa fields to push the rocks back into the ground, this saves a lot on time and repairs when we cut hay in about a month.  This is usually the first thing we can do in the fields in the spring.  Yesterday was the first time ever that I've had to drive around a snow bank when rolling.  Some early reports have said that central MN had alot of winter kill in their alfalfa this winter.  It looks like we lucked out and the alfalfa is starting to green up nicely.  This was also the first time I've spent an extended amount of time in the tractor since the accident.  I made it about 6 hours and my back is pretty sore at least I'm back in the field 4 months after the accident.  It was a nice peaceful 70 degree night in the fields last night.
