Same here. Always enjoy your pictures and hearing what you're up to.

Thank You Steve and Mr Badger.
I’m glad you enjoy the pictures and extremely happy to share this passion of mine with you all. It’s been over 39 years since I returned from the city to farm full time. Spent many hours farming growing up on one before going to city. I honestly don’t miss the city even a tiny little bit. I think this is where I belong. It definitely has its challenges, but it also has its rewards.
We finally got a good rain everywhere. I got 1.35” and that’s the first one over an inch in a long time.
Of course we are quickly approaching wheat harvest so the rain is a double edged sword. It could turn our valuable wheat crop into feed wheat. We can’t afford that. The rest of our crops really need it though so we will gladly take it.
Doesn’t look like the greatest weather forecast for our wheat for the rest of this week though.
The dilemma of a farmer. Can’t imagine being the good lord sorting out all those prayers for rain here but not there.lol
I’m not complaining though. I’m going to be happy for the rain that we did need and got. Worry about the other stuff latter.

I’m hoping our wheat is still not mature enough to be hurt by the rain. It’s getting really close though. I think it’s about seven good days from harvest. Weather sounds like dripping around little showers everyday for the next week. It has cooled down considerably though. Had to find my jacket again. Never get too far away from my pickup and extra clothes.
Wheat looks really nice. Hope we can get it off milling quality. We already have a bunch of the money spent and need some income.

Good luck on the wheat. I heard it rained here the whole time we were in Michigan, while Michigan (at least the part we were in) was in a drought. Weird.
