Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
I pulled this plant last week one day and let it dry in the pods.
The color looked pretty good to me. Had 144 beans on this plant.
I think we have more immature ones to gain, than older ones to lose at this point.

PS there were still a few beans in pods when I took pictures so I don’t think there’s 144 beans in picture

My son and I watched the Blue super moon rise a couple nights ago.
It didn’t disappoint. Was much better than the pictures

Cool ! Bob
bjrogg:
Thanks Bob. When I get a chance I’m going to go put my toe in the sand and have a cool one for Jimmy Buffet.
Wasn’t yesterday though. We started harvesting pinto beans yesterday. We finished a 51 acre field and tried a second field that was just a little too wet yet. These beans have to be 18% moisture or less. Samples was 18.3. Now there’s rain in the forecast for the next 5 days. They didn’t have any rain in the forecast for this week five days ago.
The white mold was pretty hard on them. The last thing they need is to get rained on for another week. The white mold is really deteriorating the straw and the pods are falling off as I type.
I sure hope we can get them off before they get rained on again, but it isn’t looking good at this point. Maybe the weather will cooperate
