Ground Breaking News!

Well, maybe not news to all.

And depending on your idea of news, 

a 3 week old story may not qualify!

Anyhow, we've broke ground on our new venture:

The Oil Palm business!

Below is a Google Earth image showing the outline of the property

in regards to the Pacific Ocean:

It's a 6 year old picture, hopefully Google Earth updates it soon!

The tree line is the border of the property:

As you can see in the next several pictures it's planted with Teak.

 

             and these....yikes!




                                                                                                              A small stand of Bamboo.

Well, we have a year to get  150 acres cleared & planted with the Oil Palm.

When rainy seasons comes along next year we should  be up & growing!

Hopefully we get more rain in the next season than we're getting now,

we've been a little more dry than usual,

and are hoping not to have to put in a very costly well!

Billy needed to move the back-hoe over to the farm,

which would normally take about 45 minutes, unless your going 19mph!

I forgot my iPod at home & was quite bored following him,

so I took some pictures:

I'm going to try to get over there sometime soon & take some new pics.

I can't wait to see what he's done!

We've hired 5 guys that have been working 6 days a week,

plus Dylan on Saturdays :)

so there should be some serious progress going on!
