And the muddy creek water laying on the field, can you re-direct this for the cattle? The orange stuff was all over the place on a friend of mine's farm. If it were me, I'd put some serious KILL THIS STUFF on it and hope for the best instead of letting it go insane with new watered soil to thrive in. But all in all, it doesn't look nearly as bad as some of the others I've seen. You can use the sign later when you build something else - or keep it for when the kids come and play in the creek - put it by their dams ... lol ... Perhaps they can provide you funds to get cover crops in or more hay seed to cover the loss?Susi and Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471690513446438187.post-70437747525874000162012-05-14T19:29:34.956-04:002012-05-14T19:29:34.956-04:00Don't let them get away with not cleaning up a...Don't let them get away with not cleaning up after themselves, if that was negotiated in your contract with them. Do they think you won't check up on them? I know you will be thoughtful and persistent in getting to a resolution on this, just encourage you to not give up. I think your next blog about this topic should include the name of the company or companies that have been involved, and anyone individually too. You have been very respectful in describing their work, but keep in mind that just because they paid a fair price for the use of your land, it doesn't mean they can fail to perform the fair restitution and finish the job they started. And of course if they do a good job at cleaning up, we all want to know that too.Lorraine in Wisconsinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471690513446438187.post-34312907065394520522012-05-14T09:30:37.862-04:002012-05-14T09:30:37.862-04:00How sad :( Is it worse than you thought it would ...How sad :( Is it worse than you thought it would be? How long term is most of this damage, i.e. will it be better next year? It seems like the biggest problem, at least short term, may be the loss of hay. Poor hungry cattle!Katenoreply@blogger.com
