Russ:
Wow! That’s a beauty bj! I’m sure that will fetch a good price at the auction!
bjrogg:
Thank You Brian, Pappy and Russell.
The arrow and display did ok. It brought $100 and I think that’s pretty good for that crowd. Not like there were a bunch of primitive fans there. I’m happy it brought that much. Most people don’t realize how much goes into making one of these. It’s going to a good home and the money will help their FFA chapter to. I say it’s a win win. I have meet the lady who got it and I know her husband has a nice hunting cabin I’m sure it’ll look great in.
We got a really spotty shower Saturday night on the way to church. That got one of our beet fields back in the moisture. Had a good shower overnight that I’m hoping got the rest of them in moisture. Glad we had the window to plant our beets and corn.
Today I will probably catch up in the office and shop. Maybe take a little crop tour. Chance of rain every other day this week so when it dries out again we will have lots to do.

Got the thunder and lightning, but very little rain so that was good. We didn’t need a big splash so that was good. I was working on computer when the thunder and lightning started. It definitely got my attention.
In the morning I took a little crop tour. Then I had to go to town to get my new phone to receive my emails. I was glad I didn’t try to do it myself. It took several tries for the lady that did it. I thanked her. Told her that would probably have taken me three days and a bunch of bad words. She got a laugh out of that, but I’m thinking that was probably a pretty accurate assessment.
The sugar beets all had a really nice shower. The ones that stayed in moisture were coming up and the ones that weren’t in moisture were now. Forecast is for .3” tomorrow and another .3” on Friday. That should give them a pretty good chance if it’s correct.
Took a couple pictures.
Last field planted just coming up. Haven’t seen the sun yet. Still white or yellow. Look healthy though.
The first field planted. Beets that stayed in moisture up nice with a good stand. Still lots of places where they didn’t stay in moisture, but are now. Hopefully those make it yet.

Always enjoy catching up on this thread, BJ. Love that arrow, especially the jasper head. Glad the wife is doing better, and glad you're getting the crops in. They grow a lot of sugar beets up in the Bighorn Basin where I grew up, and they really have to nurse them along some to get them going in the Wyoming clay.
Those great big, tall, white plants scattered in your field, now...those must be what grows when you plant one of those helicopter seeds?
