Very nice. How many acres do you have. Is that a pond or lake behind you house. Just beautiful.

Everything sits on approx 5 acres I believe. It's Lake Oahe which is a part of the Missouri River.

Excellent. I see a vineyard and winery in your future! Keep up the great work.

Phew, thats a lot of freaking work right there!!! Great job and poc, thanks for sharing.

 

[UBB]

Thanks. It IS a lot of work but given the circumstances of how I came to be involved it's very satisfying.

I am a glutton for punishment though as there are plans to put some more vines in.

 

[Teamsterjohn]

Very Very nice. Thats great that you have alot of land for your vines.

Awesome! Post an update on your harvest totals.

I also wondered about flooding in your area. We took Amtrak's Empire Builder from Chicago to Portland last summer and the water was up to the track ballast near Fargo and some nearby areas.

I didn't see any oil rigs on your property...

Beatiful, nice work. What is your vine spacing?

 

[UBB]

Beatiful, nice work. What is your vine spacing?

I can't take credit for the set-up as I didn't do it. I'm merely the care taker now.

The vines are spaced at approx 7ft. The rows are spaced at 10 ft.

And I wish there was some oil rigs but unfortunately for me the oil field is a lot further west.

 

[AlFulchino]

they make rigs that can drill down and then parallel to the earth's surface so you can reach your neighbors oil

it will create a scandal for you, but you would have the oil money and be able to hire a lawyer and buy off a politician
i hear that this is how it sometimes works...no first hand experience here

I am seriously jonesing for your dirt! We have nothing but bedrock here in this part of CT. The state flower is a rock.
