Manual Rock Clearing in Pastures

What happens here

The farmer highlights the ongoing challenge of rocks surfacing in his pastures, a characteristic of the 'Stony Ridge Farm's' unique volcanic basin geology. He explains that there's no machine solution for this task, emphasizing that it requires manual labor. He demonstrates picking up rocks and loading them into the back of his Honda Pioneer 1000-6 utility vehicle, filling the bed with numerous stones. These rocks are later used for erosion control or other construction projects on the farm. He sets a personal goal of picking up '10 rocks per day' as he walks through the pastures, illustrating the continuous nature of this chore.

Goal: Clear pastures of large rocks for safety and equipment protection
