Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Hope you get some more rain to Pappy. We have been lucky here by the big lake. It’s been keeping us pretty decent temperature anyway. Lot cooler here than a few miles inland.
Yesterday my wife and I had a nice day together. First we went to church and meet our new priest. Very nice mass.
Then we went to the China King to eat. Just the two of us. I honestly can’t remember the last time we did that. Was very nice.
Then we went to the nursing home and I visited my dad while she visited her mother.
Then on the way home we visited our brother in law who has ALS. It was nice to see him again even though I can see how much he has slipped since the last time I saw him.
Then back home. That took most of the day and we took a little nap. Boy did that feel good.
Today I am taking my wife to the eye specialist in the city. Then we are going to meet our daughter, son in law and grandson at the campgrounds on way home.

Those are some wide row beans! We got another good rain Saturday night things are really greening up now.
Glad you are able to take some R&R, little as it may be. Do you bail/sell the straw?

Yes we are still in 30” row spacing. These are edible beans too. Black Beans and Navy Beans. A lot of guys have switched to 22” or even narrower. We have tried test plots in narrow rows, but we find we get to much white mold this close to the lake. It can be absolutely devastating. We try to do as much as we can to prevent it and there’s only so much we can do. Wider row spacing is one of them.
We have several neighbors who buy our straw. They have most of it baled now.

This baler was making big square bales as fast as we were making windrows with two big combines

Ah those big bails are no fun... Now thousands of small bails, that's a what I'm talking about!
