 Hey guys, Jenny here. We're in Jefferson County. I've got my new friend Joshua. Hi He's so excited to be here with me today We're putting in rice levy gates in the field behind me. Are you ready to teach me some things? Yeah, are you patient enough to teach me some things? Sure We're about to find out. All right, let's do it We're putting in rice levy gates, okay, and you're gonna show me how we do that. Yeah, what why do we do this? We do it the whole water. Okay, hold it from patty to patty. Yes, pretty much. All right, cool Well, let's jump in you teach me what we need to do So we're gonna put the dirt on This rock is this dirt. It's dirt. It's just really hard So You pretty much take this tarp. Yes, and you're trying to Flatten it pretty much. Okay Is this gonna take you like 10 years to do or probably not Slot-ass While I make I feel like this is child labor right now I'm just like watching a kid do all this work and I'm just standing here commenting over it So do you have to do it all around the edge? You have to do it from one side to the other. Okay, so Joshua Why why do we flood the patties? Well? The weeds okay, so it's not necessarily like not for the not for the rice So most people probably think you have to flood yes for the rice, but it's mostly for yes the weeds Okay, cool. All right. You can continue on shoveling. I'm almost done Okay, I'll help you up Okay Yes, so you need me do you need me to hold hold this out for you which like right now like this the corner? Okay That's a hard rock Look I found a big rock perfect Some rock on we started to realize This is tough. Yes dirt. Yes very But um One thing I'm catching on too is we're putting a lot more dirt on this side and Why is this is this like any time we see any orange like of the tarp? We need to probably cover it up now you don't want any of the water to come through so that's on my side Yes, so that's why you put the dirt on there. Okay. All right, so you know That was about 10 minutes 15 minutes of hard work there looks like we're done. Nope. We still have two more left So we're not done. Nope Okay. All right. Well I guess we'll keep going then I guess so It's your turn now. Oh my goodness. I was scared All right, Joshua. Okay. I saw what we were doing my method though after watching How tough these are I think I'm gonna go for the big rocks first. I'll just lay them out. Yeah, that works All right, cool. Well, I'm just gonna put the shovel down. Okay. All right Feel free to tell me If I'm doing anything wrong, but in the meantime Can you talk to me about like I've why we have the levees here like Because this isn't a level field though In a level level field that you don't have to have these because you flush the field whenever you have to Flush it whenever we're not because of the levees. We're not flushing it. Yes. We're flooding it flooding it. Okay And did I hear that right that I'm not picking up big rocks like I'm just like picking up small rocks What am I doing? Uh, did I hear that right? They y'all actually have to have someone come out? Yes, and survey to tell you tell us where the high points are. Yeah, that's really that's really neat. Mm-hmm Look how fast I'm going You missed his spot This is where oh everywhere I was like really concerned I was like where Did I miss this spot? Whoa? Whoa? Do you think we'll find um a dinosaur fossil out here or You know what josh you're doing a great job just watching me do this I just want to let you know that's what you were doing to me earlier. Yeah All right throw it on the ground just throw it. That's what I'm trying to just throw it See it works. Yeah, I lift weights um Okay, josh. Well, yep I've kind of done this side. You pretty much have it looks all right. It looks fine. It looks fine That's from you I could get um, okay, so do I need to do this to the other side? No, you don't Okay, why why why not because whenever Whenever the water's flowing through We don't need dirt on here because we have to get through and through there to get to the metal rod to adjust it Uh, adjust the height for the water Okay, so and we're adjusting the height to stop the water at one point. Okay, so All right, I'm gonna spit this right back at you to make sure that I understand Okay, we're keeping this side open to go underneath to get the metal rod to adjust the height to stop the water Man I was really bad in school, but I feel like I'm acing this right now All right, so josh will what happens if this washes out? That's it's a big mess. It's mud and you have to shovel it to build it back back up So it's just pretty much a lot of it's a lot of work a lot of labor a lot of work A lot of shoveling. Yes a lot of shoveling and as we saw we're we're not the best at shoveling. No, no, we're not I think we're done Two hours later Well, I think we're Think we're done. All right. All right. Well, we're done. Okay. So, uh Thanks for bringing me out today. Uh, where are you heading next? I think I'm going to Fayette, Missouri For what? I'm I'm a rodeo. You're a rodeo clown. You didn't know that We should have actually had josh would teach me how to be a rodeo clown. That's what we should have done Is that safe to you? Yes, yes, yes. Okay. All right. Cool.
