Busy as a Bee…Or a Farmer

September 10, 2011 by Morgan 2 Comments

Lot’s of times what we run into this time of year is the fact that we are chopping corn silage first thing in the morning, after feeding our cattle, until well past 9 P.M. Which fills up your day quite quickly when you really get to thinking about it, it’s really an all hands on deck kind of process. 
Well, even though we are chopping silage like mad men we still have lots of other things that need done around the farm. Everything from meeting with the random people that stop by on a daily basis to feeding cattle to cutting, raking, and baling our last cutting of hay. 

This week my sister in law, mother in law, and myself raked our hay and then the guys took over baling in the evenings. I was able to capture a few good shots with my father in law and his son, Troy, as they were baling hay at sunset.

Then I realized in my effort of capturing my family, I accidentally captured this little guy too. My photographer sister in law would be so proud. Since I am constantly freaked out by her insistence to take pictures of all things creepy and crawly.

It’s another busy day at TKF. We are taking a break from chopping corn silage to pour some concrete for our Uncle Charlie, then back to chopping silage. Hopefully we will get our bunker full in the next day or two. Then on to custom silage chopping jobs. 

I plan on making a video for you to all see what I mean when I say chopping corn silage. Wish me luck! That area is definitely not my forte!

I met my husband for the first time face to face on the exit ramp that is now down the road from our home. I lived in South Dakota for a year before I was sure I was ready to do this whole "farm wife" thing...(read more!)
