I havent had time to write much lately because the farm really keeps us busy. In the last few weeks we changed some of the staff around and hired on an older more experienced (40?) dominican as a farm manager. He is really helping out with managing the field hands and making sure all the work is done on time.
Julio has gone back to Haiti for the 200th Independance Anniversary. Milito is still with us too but Feli has moved on to another farm. High turn over rates with haitian field hands is pretty normal around here.
We have a great big generator on the place now and are still waiting for the other half of the milking machine to be installed. Still have lots of roofs left to build over parts of the milking and feeding areas but we have been delayed finishing that due to injury (tennis elbow), illness (dont drink the water), or rain. Lots of other work to do too. Working on a injury/illness stall, need to finish cleaning stones out of the corral, still planting corn and grass. I am sure there are 12 other things I forgot too.
Well thats all for now.
