Life on the Farm
M2A:
Cake and ice cream always a good thing!
Nice view from inside that spray rig. I'll be getting my boom sprayer out this week for the sweet corn. drive past it the other day and noticed its about time for it to start shooting silk. Still might make the 4th of July for that 1st couple fields. The crew started picking strawberries Monday of last week, kinda a poor year for them as the deer and ground hogs put a big hit on them over the winter.
Finished up the bailing season the other night. 24 round bails, use to do about 700-800 a year so not much any more. Always enjoyed the work but trying to get all the timing down all summer long was a pain. and without a tedder I always needed 1 more day of drying time.
Maybe I'll have some time over the weekend to get a few pics up but I best be headed out for now.

Hasn’t been very good hay making weather here this week Mike. Hope yours is better.
I did manage to get the wheat sprayed for vomitoxcin. It’s a disease that can make your wheat toxic so it isn’t safe for either human or animal consumption. We are getting perfect environmental conditions for it right now. The fungicide only offers limited protection. I hope it’s enough because this is getting to be a very, very expensive crop year. We absolutely need decent crops.
Yesterday was one of those heart breakers. My daughters little dog Zoey took a dramatic turn for the worst. She was doing so good and just like that the switch was flipped. She passed away in my arms and it was a heartbreaker.
Our whole family is going to really miss that little dog. She brought so much joy to us. She was a blessing.
Growing up on a farm in learned about losing animals, pets and loved ones from a very early age. I know it’s part of life. Some people may even think I’m cold hearted, but they are wrong. Just because I have grown up with it doesn’t mean it’s easy. RIP Zoey.
Could have missed the pain, but would have had to miss the dance.
Was a great dance Zoey

Sorry for your family loss, Brian. It's the love that makes it hurt so much and it's something we all experience.
