I definitely feel like it’s been a minute since I really gave you a run down of what is going on on our farm this time of year.
Really, it’s been a lot of minutes.
This time of year is really when our big rush starts happening. Guys are running around like crazy- moving equipment, hauling grains, or feeding cattle. Girls are running around like crazy too- running equipment, getting kids off to school, running for parts, and buying an endless supply of chips and pop.
It’s my week to cook this week and that mixed with running the grain cart all day has really taken up pretty much any spare amount of time I have. Because at night I am ready to hit the pillow!
Right now, as I mentioned in my previous post, we are combining soybeans. So far the yields (I will explain yields in a later post where I can actually show some pictures!) are looking good and we have had super dry fields.
Last night my brother in law pointed out “It was about 365 days ago it started raining and it never stopped. Last harvest was wet, muddy, and a constant battle of pulling equipment out of the mud. Needless to say, it was long.
This year harvest is looking great from the grain cart. I am constantly posting pictures on my facebook and on twitter. So if you aren’t following me on those accounts, now is definitely the time!
(My farmer husband recently allowed me to upgrade to a smart phone, I, of course, am taking full advantage of it!)
Since my posts may be sporadic for the next few weeks, please follow me on twitter and facebook to see what’s happening in our fields!
