Life on the Farm

A few days ago my favorite granddaughter asked me if I would be her escort for the Bean Queen interview last night.
Of course I said yes and that I would be honored to. I have certainly had far worse jobs and really can’t think of any better ones.
It was a nice evening. The bean commission provided a really nice meal and the interview seemed to go well.
I really enjoyed the whole thing.
Very nice young ladies. She has some good competition and I’m sure the bean commission will be happy with whichever young lady is chosen

Man it’s been a couple crazy weeks. It’s not looking good for me getting to Elm Hall Pappy. Sorry, I was really hoping to get there.
Last Saturday I packed up some of my stuff and went to the Grindstone Sportsmans Youth Mentor Day. I have been going to this event for several years now and even wrote an article in PA Magazine about it.
I didn’t get any pictures but it was another very successful event. All of the presentations are volunteer and I would like to thank them for their support as well as the Club for putting it on.
A lot of first time attendees and something for everyone.
I wish I had pictures but I was by myself and very busy with kids and parents.
Just the way I like it.

The edible beans in our area either look incredible or very sick. We have had lots of rain. To much for many fields. I think our cover crops really helped us and others who have been using them for several years.
Our beans are growing very aggressively. They are huge. They are loaded with blossoms and pin beans. They also are starting to become infected with white mold. Sunday morning I had a nice breakfast with my family and then I started applying a protectant to hopefully help control it. It won’t stop anything that is already infected, but hopefully we can protect some of the plants and slow the disease. This disease loves this environment and can totally wipe out our bean crop.

After I finished with my work I went to the fairgrounds. My favorite granddaughter was in the bean queen running.
She had some really good competition. I thought she had a good chance, but she was sure she wasn’t going to be crowned queen.
She was right. The ladies she was in the event with were also very qualified.
The lady who was crowned will I’m sure represent the bean growers and industry really well.
