Spring on the farm doesn’t just mean new calves and longer days—it’s also a good time to reset, clean up, and clear out. Whether you’re knee-deep in mud or managing farm life from the cab and the kitchen, here are a few smart (and simple) spring cleaning tips to help get your space—and your mindset—ready for the busy season ahead.
1. Start With the Shop and Barn
Dust, dirt, and spiderwebs build up fast in barns and shops. Now’s the time to:
- Sweep out corners and rafters
- Check for old feed or spilled grain that might attract pests
- Test and clean fans, lights, and outlets
- Toss broken tools and sort the ones that still work

2. Freshen Up Equipment Cabs
If your tractor cab looks like a snack bag exploded inside, you’re not alone. Here's how to fix it fast:
- Throw out old wrappers, bottles, and receipts
- Wipe down steering wheels, armrests, and windows
- Use a hand vac or air hose to clear out the dust
- Keep a small container for essentials (gum, gloves, notebook)
👚 Our Running Out of Shucks Shirt pairs perfectly with cab chores—and has the attitude to match.
3. Tackle the House—Rural Style
Farm homes take a beating. Muddy boots, dusty pets, and busy schedules can leave a trail. Start simple:
- Wash entry rugs and boot mats
- Deep clean heavily trafficked floors
- Toss out expired pantry items
- Open windows to air out winter funk
👕 While you're washing everything else, don't forget your favorite farm tees. If you need a refresh, check out our best-selling apparel.
4. Clean Out the Closet
This one’s for you.
Go through your chore clothes and:
- Donate what you don’t wear
- Use old t-shirts for shop rags
- Patch or toss the stuff with no hope
- Make room for fresh tees, hats, and hoodies

5. Don’t Forget the Mental Reset
Cleaning your space is great. But don’t forget to clear a little headspace too:
- Make a list of what you want to do, not just get done
- Let go of guilt over what didn’t get finished last season
- Set small goals for spring—personally and on the farm
- Take a walk, sit on the porch, or just give yourself a few quiet minutes
Spring cleaning isn’t about perfection—it’s about making space for what matters. Whether it’s clearing the barn or clearing your calendar, small steps can make a big difference.
