Country superstar Blake Shelton is no stranger to hard work\u2014but even for a music icon, life on the farm comes with its own set of challenges. The 49-year-old recently gave fans a candid and entertaining glimpse into his daily ranch life, revealing that heavy rains have left parts of his sprawling 1,300-acre Oklahoma property literally sinking underfoot.<\/p>\n
In a playful Instagram video, Shelton shared his latest adventure while tending to his sweetcorn crop. \u201cAbout to do a little spraying on my sweetcorn. Got all my stuff loaded up there in the orange Kubota, and man, it\u2019s been one of those years in Oklahoma,\u201d he joked, setting the scene.<\/p>\n
Despite the lush conditions, Shelton warned that appearances can be deceiving. \u201cIt\u2019s been awesome, but man, we\u2019ve had a lot of rain, and areas that look dry, even though they look dry, they\u2019re saturated.\u201d The camera then panned to a muddy mess of deep tire tracks\u2014evidence of his trusty Kubota tractor\u2019s struggle.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I tried to drive through, it ended up sinking,\u201d Blake explained. \u201cI hit the gas pedal, put it in four-wheel drive, and I pulled her on out.\u201d Ever the entertainer, Shelton even broke into song mid-story: Captioning the clip with his trademark humor, he advised fans: \u201cDon\u2019t get overwhelmed in the moment\u2026 Concentrate on pulling out. #kubota.\u201d<\/p>\n Shelton\u2019s Oklahoma ranch has become more than just a retreat. Purchased for roughly $4 million, the property is where he and wife Gwen Stefani built their dream home. The couple raises animals, cultivates crops, and even constructed a chapel on the land, where they famously wed in summer 2021.<\/p>\n Between ranch life and city living, Blake, Gwen, and her children\u2014Kingston (19), Zuma (16), and Apollo (11)\u2014split their time between the rural Oklahoma paradise and their $14 million mega-mansion in Encino, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n As Blake Shelton\u2019s muddy tractor mishap shows, even with the ups and downs of country living, there\u2019s always a song to sing and a smile to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Country superstar Blake Shelton is no stranger to hard work\u2014but even for a music icon, life on the farm comes with its own set of challenges.
