Comment:
Placed around 200 yards of gravel on the 'lane' or 'road' that splits the L1 and L2 fields at Lux Arbor.
Purpose for more gravel: To help stabilize the road after rain or any moisture. Road would become sticky and muddy after rainfall or moisture. Gravel was added to help equipment and trucks have better access to the field for harvesting and/or removing biomass (bales) from the field.
Source of gravel: Carpenter Gravel, Inc. Delton, MI (269) 721-9989
Type of gravel: 22A stabilized road gravel.
Carpenter Gravel delivered the gravel in 10 yards trucks, they spread the gravel out as best as they could coming out of the tailgate of the trucks. We moved/leveled the gravel around with the loader on the JD 7420b tractor.
