Spring Farm Cleanup....I should've done job this MONTHS AGO!

What happens here

Regularly inspect pastures and roadways for exposed rocks, which often surface due to cattle grazing and water erosion. Manually pick up these rocks and place them in the front or rear rack of the ATV for transport. Once a sufficient quantity of rocks is collected, transport them to areas prone to erosion, such as creek beds that run alongside farm roads. Strategically place the rocks in the creek bed to reinforce banks and subtly divert water flow away from eroding areas. This technique prevents the creek from undermining the road, especially during heavy rainfalls.

Goal: Mitigate erosion along creeks and roadways using naturally sourced rocks.
