As the days get shorter the "opportunity" to drive down the road in the dark presents itself to the farmers a bit more often. For most of the year, we don't actually drive when it is dark all that often because we typically get our travels done in time to arrive at dusk and perform our poultry chores. Now that we only have hen flocks, it is a bit less of an issue, though we still have to get back early enough to close them up before the predators figure out the door is still open!
