Posted at 13:21h, 19 JulyOur struggle right now is deciding which variety will be best for replanting in the fall. The drought of last fall didn’t help, but the rains didn’t help either when they finally did come. Ah, the gamble of being a farmer!

Posted at 15:17h, 19 JulyWe have never had to wait this long to start cutting! We should be done by now. The great white combine from the sky cut out 90% of our crop for us last month. The field we cut yesterday made 9.9 bu/ac. Really hoping that when ever the next field is dry enough it will at least triple that amount.
