By Caitlin Arnold, Furrow Horse Farm. Being a farmer comes with ups and downs to the extreme. Every day we simply hope to wake up prepared for any and all situations and well rested enough to deal with what comes. Sometimes, what comes is disaster. The story of one of the worst days on the farm this season comes from Brandon:. A few weeks ago we had an epic windstorm. Caitlin was away for the weekend, and I was all set for our Saturday market. I woke to an email on Saturday morning from our market manager: the market is rain or shine, but we will not set up if wind exceeds 40 mph. The weather report was looking iffy: mph and steady rain throughout the day. Do I stay or do I go? With an extra rain jacket in tow, I set out for the market. The weather seemed agreeable, so far. By the time I arrived, the rain had turned from a light drizzle to a consistent downpour. Just moments after our market tent was set up, the wind started to pick up. We had 25 lbs. Just as the next vendor arrived and began unfolding his canopy, a strong gust blew through the market, picked his canopy up, folded it in half, and blew it over the top of his truck, rendering it useless and destroyed. The next two vendors would not take the chance: they eschewed the use of their canopies, and sold produce directly out of their trucks. They kindly offered us all of their market weights, meaning I had 75 lbs. of weight on each canopy leg. By noon, the weather was even worse. One other Elit Escort Tweet Pendik had blown in half, and multiple vendors had packed up and left. Completely soaked through to the bone and worried about the stability of the remaining market canopies, the last three vendors and I decided to call it quits. That was shortly after noon. I arrived back at our farm around 3 p. From a distance, our wash station and our hoop house, the two structures I was most concerned about, appeared intact. As I got closer, I realized everything in our wash station had blown all Elit Escort Tweet Pendik the Elit Escort Tweet Pendik waxed boxes, our harvest crates, our salad spinner, our tables, our buckets. I even found a few boxes, crates, and buckets down below our garden, in a pasture in the lower part of the farm. Then, upon looking closer at the hoop house, I realized crisis mode was upon me: both of the ropes on our caterpillar-style hoop house had broken, with the plastic attached now Elit Escort Tweet Pendik at the end walls, flailing along the length of the hoop house. First I called Caitlin—no answer. Then I called our nearest neighbor, Ben. Also no answer. I knew I had to act quickly: the wind was picking up, and with one more gust the plastic could be blown off completely, ruining our onions, which were curing inside. I jerry-rigged a wire contraption to attach the ropes back to the ground posts. Then I sorted out the tangled rope and re-weaved the ropes over the top of the house, running back and forth, cinching down the plastic from end-to-end. At the end of the process, with the plastic re-secured, I felt a slight moment of relief. The plastic on their hoop house was only attached on one side, and most of it had blown over on top of their winter squash patch. They were out of town, so I knew I was still on my own. I pulled the plastic back, found a few snap clamps, and re-attached it to the frame. I thought my work might be done.
