Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Friday I helped my son in the morning with his cattle. When I got done with that I decided to go hunting. It was too wet to do much of anything else. I sat in the same stand as the last time and the wind was right again. I didn’t get a shot but I saw five small spikes and a pretty nice six point. I call that a good day.
The colors are definitely changing now. I think we might try to harvest some sugar beets this afternoon.

Yesterday morning I modified a tree stand I never really felt comfortable in. I took an old climber stand I got from Dbar and a ladder stand I got from my neighbor and put parts of them together.
The ladder stand never had arm rests or a rail. I have another one that is similar but it does have a rail. I never liked the rail. It’s made more for a gun or cross bow and to far ahead for my liking. I like shooting from and sitting in this one now. It’s a little trickier to get in but not bad. The rail both a comfortable armrest and safety rail. I can comfortably shoot sitting or standing and the rail isn’t in my way.
Then I went to a good friend’s wedding.
I think this afternoon we will probably start harvesting sugar beets

Thought of You yesterday BJ - lot's of Combines and Grain Trucks going by the House. Good Luck with the Beans ! (=) Bob.
bjrogg:
Thought of you to Bob. We didn’t combine beans. It was cloudy until about three o’clock here and then the sun came out. We did dig sugar beets.
It went pretty good. Had to load trucks on the road. Field wasn’t terribly wet, but sticky and a little soft. We did pretty good for half a day. We got 19 acres dug. I did a yield check. It came out 42.9 tons per acre. Lots of truck loads to go yet. Hopefully the sugar percentage is good.

Hope it all goes well for you this harvest. Sugar seemed pretty high in the fruit here so hope you have the same with your beets. Need to do some catch up on your thread here.
