Jada: Sunset views from the field

Jada_thumbnailI cannot leave a beautiful sunset photo out of a post. I just absolutely love them. This is one scene that will never grow old to my eyes….. wheat, machines and a setting sun as its backdrop- now if everyone really knew where their bread came from!

Since our arrival, I haven’t felt there was a lot of reporting to be done on crop updates. But once again our farmer, Mike, surprised me. Since our arrival, we have harvested fields that ranged from 10 bu/ ac. to 50 bu./ ac. but, today we are cutting fields that are averaging at 38 to 42 bu/ac.

Seeing the drought with my own eyes and knowing several farmers in this area did not have a crop to harvest makes this news amazing. Despite having all odds stacked against our farmer, he was blessed to have a  crop. Recently, Mike has switched to a no-till technique and feels that it has contributed to the success of his crop. Now, if the area could just receive some rain.

Here are some field photos.

Did I mention it was dry in Olney TX

Did I mention it was dry in Olney? It is so evident just how dry it is here. The ground is cracking like the desert.

I love sunset harvest photos
