Been busy farming and crops are really starting to look good. We have been working at wheat harvest along with all taking care of all the other crops.

First picture harvested wheat stubble with red clover cover crop reaching for the sun. This clover was seeded into the winter wheat early this spring. It’s really good for the ground and after more than a decade of using it I can really see the difference in my soil structure.

Our sugar beets are really looking good. We were dry earlier but have been getting plenty of rain in July. Hasn’t made wheat harvest easy but the rest of the crops are sure growing. So are the weed and diseases.
Here’s a couple pictures of our sugar beets.

My Navy Beans are getting all the rain they need and maybe a little more than they’d like. The years of cover crops are helping the soil structure to perk and keep the water from laying in a pool. Beans hate standing water. So far so good.

My friend is keeping a Eagle Eye on me. Seems to be happy with everything so far. This fella has been watching me for several years. He or she has become very comfortable with my tractor. Really likes this big old dead cottonwood
