Life on the Farm

Then it was time for cake and ice cream.
My daughter in law is quite the birthday cake baker. She always makes some special cakes. I have lots of birthday cake pictures over the years. This time Cliff wanted a sports theme. It’s a nice cake, but honestly I like the farm and construction theme ones better. It’s a nice cake though and it tastes good. Cliff loved it and his cousin did to.

After the party I took a quick crop tour.
The wheat is just starting to head out.
The clover cover crop looks like it is still doing fine.

Yesterday morning I did a quick look at the navy beans I planted on Memorial Day. They were starting to poke out.

Then stopped at the Coop to fill up with E-85. I’ve got 170,000 miles on my truck and it’s almost all I have burned in it. No problems at all. Sure is going to be a expensive fall if these prices don’t come down before harvest and fall tillage.

One of the best things about the new sprayer ended yesterday. I hadn’t really run it yet.lol Sure was nice to have my nephew take over while I was planting. I usually had to somehow do both before and the days got very long.
Yesterday wasn’t really raining yet it was dripping around just a little. Decided to apply the nitrogen on the sugar beets. They need nitrogen early and a nice shower to soak it in was forecast for today. Got the nitrogen applied to all the beets and we do get a beautiful slow .75” shower. Perfect timing. Still a little cool but I’m not complaining.
I guess I’m starting to feel comfortable in this spaceship of a sprayer.
