A hard lesson learned......
One result is this "gully washer" - rain came down so fast and so much that we lost some topsoil from one of our fields. This field was all ready for planting when the rain storm hit us, so the soil was loose and friable. This is an example of poor soil management, a mistake I'll only make once. The barn (up the hill from the field) is new this year and I didn't realize that it would shed a lot of water, which then runs down to the field. And through the field, wiping out a lot of our topsoil. Can't move the barn, so this area will be transformed to sod! Otherwise, it'll happen again...and again. A lesson learned.
