Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Man I have been crazy busy. Between hauling lime, spreading fertilizer, prepping ground for the seeding of our cover crops, the fair birthdays and family gatherings. I’m starting to feel a little tired. It’s good to get the work done though and our crops so far are looking good. That’s good. At least if the prices are poor I can look at nice crops and that’s what the farmer in me really enjoys.
The fair was good to my favorite granddaughter. It’s her last year and she has been showing at the fair for 13 years.
She was crowned the Bean Queen this year and I know she will make a very good queen. She is a smart lady and she will represent our growers and commodity well.
She also had reserve champion fat steer.
She also took first place as the small animal show person
It’s so hard to believe she’s all grown up . It seems like just a few years ago I was changing her diaper. ( I m sure she wouldn’t want me to say that so don’t tell her)
She might be my favorite granddaughter because I only have one, but I have a feeling that she would still be if I had more.

Our crops are looking good. The sugar beets that I planted into the rye are looking amazing. Hopefully they get made into sugar and not disposed of because we can’t get them processed.

The temperature has been just about perfect for our black beans. Cool enough that it doesn’t dry up the blossoms before they pollinate, yet hot enough at times to keep the white mold in check.
The rows are full and it looks like they set the earlier pods good

I’ve been so busy that my dog is really missing me. She looks out the window hoping I will be home before it bedtime. She’s so happy when I am.

Oh almost forgot. The Mack made it out of the shop. Was a huge job, but I think it was worth it. She looks shiny new and has lots of new parts. Should be pretty trouble free and dependable for many years.
