This week on harvest we’ve become seriously busy. We started the week split into three crews, working hard to try and wrap everything up to get on to our next stops. Playing catch up has become the general theme this year. Gary and Rhonada have a...

When it comes to desserts, Rhonada makes some pretty delicious treats. I, on the other hand, am not a great baker. Rhonada thankfully shared with me some of her easy recipes that even a beginner can’t get wrong. One of those is a really easy, tasty...

Most days we didn’t get going until well after noon, usually around 4 to 5 p.m. I'm amazed we could work as late...

The sun is shining, and we should be cutting. The rain last night dumped somewhere around a half inch. We’ll be sitting, again, for a little bit. Thursday we actually moved four of the eight machines we have here in Texas to cover one 50-acre field....

Hello from Texas. Over the last two days, we successfully made it to our first stop. The trip down was mostly uneventful. I think this is the first time since I’ve been around that with 18 vehicles in a convoy stretching over half a mile,...
