Farm calendar
The farm calendar
What we check and when it lands, month by month. Dates move with the weather and with your fields, so the owner of each farm picks the week.
- January – February
Step 1: Winter checks
Heat tape on water lines, milk house and bulk tank heaters, and a test run of the generator and its transfer switch.

Step 2: Before the fields open
Ventilation fans and controllers checked before the first warm week, manure pump and agitator wiring, and shop circuits for planting season.

Summer is when harvest gets booked
