We have:
- Finished Wheat Harvest
- Doubled Cropped many fields
- Finished all of our Hay Work
- Helped others Harvest
- Finished Corn Harvest
- Added and Subtracted Things from the Farm
- Lots of Field Work
- And a whole bunch more!
So where should I begin?
Well this post is going to be a picture update and hopefully a few more blog posts to really explain what all is going on in these pictures later.
Here we go!
That is just a brief view of a few of the things that happened over the summer. We worked but we also took some breaks. Everyone went on a small trip even if it was just 2 days and we were blessed to have some good corn fields this year and to be able to get our corn harvest done already. There are still many farmers with corn to harvest in our area and even more still in the North. By time our friends up in the Northern part of the state are ready to begin corn harvest, we will be starting Soybean Harvest and drilling wheat. This will begin next week or the following one for sure.
Sorry there isn't more detail to the pictures or what is really going on but in a farmers world and with more behind the scenes things going on this is the best update for now!
Happy Almost Fall!
