My Great-grandfather created it with a team of horses and a scoop in the 1890s. There is largemouth bass and pan fish in the pond. You're Welcome At My Fire Anytime

I very clearly see grass and a hill in that picture. There is a large portion of Wisconsin that is hilly with some down right rough and rugged. My farm is in a region called the "Driftless Area" whereby glaciers missed it. There are places that we can farm three sides of an acre. LOL You're Welcome At My Fire Anytime

We call them tumble bugs around here. Old fashioned dirt moving tool, strictly mechanical. I had one that was built for a 3 point hitch, years ago.
