How to Stay Busy on Your Farm Over the Winter

Once the fall harvest is complete, you may be wondering what more you can do on your farm. There are actually a number of tasks that are perfect to do over the winter so that you’re all ready for spring cultivating and planting. Here are some things to do so that your farm stays functional.

Fix & Maintain Farm Equipment

All the machinery you’ve been using throughout the year will definitely need a thorough cleaning and maintenance session. On a sunny day, you can wash your farm equipment and make note of any repairs that need to be performed. You can then do these tasks yourself or get in touch with the service department here at Gary’s Power Equipment so that we can help you get your equipment repaired and ready for winterization and storage.

Go Through Your Records

Winter is also a perfect time to gather up your data from the growing season and update your bookkeeping records. Make note of what did and didn’t work out this year and begin planning for next spring’s planting season. 

Mend Livestock Shelters

If you have livestock, you’ll still have to tend to them over the winter, and one of the tasks you should complete before it gets too cold is checking over all your shelters. Patch up holes in the roof or walls and ensure that your animals have a warm, secure place to stay that keeps them out of the elements.
