The Shop.

     On any farm or ranch, the time will inevitably come where something breaks. This is why nearly every farm and ranch has a shop. It seemed only fitting to talk about them exclusively at least once.

     A shop looks like a big garage, generally. It is, more or less. The purpose of this enclosure, though, is to be a place where tools are stored and repairs can happen out of the weather. On nicer days, as you can see, the patients get repaired or receive regular maintenance outside.

     The inside of the shop is loaded with tools of all shapes and sizes. Just about everything on an agricultural establishment (that will fit) finds it's way into here eventually. Even lawnmowers get their repairs done here, as you can see.
     Anyone who chooses to read this blog is going to see a lot of shops. They're pretty pivotal to modern agriculture because modern agriculture has a lot of machinery. So whether just dotted around the background of the pictures here or part of the focus of the story, you'll start to take them for granted as just part of the landscape. But make no mistake, they're not just landscape, they're one of the most important places on the farm or ranch.
