Life on the Farm
Buckskinner:
Congrats on your 25th! I will be there next year, hard to believe... Have a great party!
Hope you get some rain soon! It's crazy how much a good rain changes things, we were so dry there were knoll areas of our fields where the late planted soybeans were died off. We probably got 3 inches last week over a 3 days span and everything is growing like crazy, corn probably grew a foot over the last couple days.

Thanks Pat. It’s not as many as some, but it sometimes seems like a lifetime to me. Sometimes it’s hard to remember life as a single man even though I was that way for a quite awhile.
Yes our farm goes right to the shore of Lake Huron. I forget exactly but I think it’s something like 1130’ of shoreline.
My brother looked into using it for irrigation once and I don’t remember all the rules exactly so I hesitate to comment. I do want to say if we owned the shoreline we could use the lake for irrigation on the attached farm. Seems like there were a lot of rules about how you got the water from the lake. Like I said though I really don’t remember exactly and it wasn’t something we felt like we needed to pursue.

Yup nothing like a big rain to effect your farming operation. Sometimes they are a blessing and sometimes they are a curse.
One right now could be both. Would probably ruin my wheat quality, but everything else would love it.

Had a really nice bonfire for our 25 th anniversary.
Before everyone arrived my son and I had a little time to enjoy the fire.
