Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
That bug looks familiar Buckskinner but I don’t remember for sure what it is. I’m hoping it’s some kind of predator bug eating unwanted bugs. If the numbers are high it probably means the unwanted pest numbers are high to. That’s what our ash trees look like to. Except most have fallen over and are laying in every direction making a walk through the woods very challenging.
Nice looking cob of sweet corn Mike. Mine is looking pretty nice now but it’s barely knee high yet. It’s to the stage it will really grow now though. Probably be ready around fair week. Sweet corn and blueberries. Good stuff. Blueberry is definitely way high up on my list of favorites.
Be watching to see what you get from that Osage log.
Bob I’ve only seen them in my ash tree by the hundreds of thousands that one year. I have seen lots of them before, but that time they were literally hanging from each other and you couldn’t have fit another one on the surface of the ash trees. They hung around like that for a couple days. We had a sugar beet test plot for Sugar beet Advancement that year and the fella that always checked on the test plot called me up very excited. Asked me if I saw all the butterflies? I told him I did and it was one of the memories I still have etched in my brain forever.
Once again “I was outstanding in my field “ . This time one of my wheat fields. Always hard to guess what it’s going to do. This spot looks good yet. Sure could have used some rain but maybe we can still have a decent crop. Wheat makes me very nervous this time of year. I don’t stop worrying until it’s at the elevator and has passed the vomitoxin and falling numbers test. We have a lot of money invested in this crop and it’s gotta be milling quality or we lose.
Happy 4th of July everyone. I plan on spending the day at our beach with family and friends. Thanks to all who have made it possible for us to enjoy this freedom.

Raining pretty good here rite now - hope Your getting some it ! Bob
Buckskinner:
Hope you got some rain BJ, we finally did yesterday and through the night. Came along perfect as well, started with a nice slow rain of about 1/4" to soften ground then good thunderstorms at night, probably close to 2".
bjrogg:
Thanks for the wishes guys. We got between 1/10th and 2/10ths. Really could have taken ten times that but it buys a little time. The beans should like it. And everything else will be glad to get it to.
I was walking the beach last night and came across this digging.
What could it be?

bjrogg:
It could be my favorite granddaughter and my grandson. Love watching them dig in the sand.
