Very cool little bow. It look great once you get it finished up. I bet the little guy will love it.

The striped rust is completely taking over where the different protectant I tried was applied. I doesn’t seem to have helped much if any.

The fungus infects the leaves and spreads rapidly in the conditions we have had this spring

The cool rainy days have been putting disease pressure on the wheat.

Earlier in the year I had applied two different types of protectants to help prevent disease. Fungicides similar to a fungal soap you would use for yeast infections.

I know which one I won’t be using again. You can see the difference.

The rainy days have given me the opportunity to do some gathering.

It’s been a tough year for farming. We have been fortunate to get as much done as we have. We have been getting lots of rainy days, but fortunately we haven’t had large amounts. Once again very spotty weather and many farmers are way behind.  We have for the most part stayed on schedule.

Our sugar beets, corn and soybeans came up good.

Been busy with family and farming.

Seems like it couldn’t be possible, but my favorite granddaughter graduated from High School . Man that time went by fast.

Hope the big world treats her well. She’s a fine young lady and we love her just the way she is. Sassy and sweet

Bows / Re: Stress and performance

Ok I know someone has done it but let’s say we build a bow with a pyramid on one end and a narrow and thick limb on the other end . Side profile being the same. Would this be no different from building a   pretty wild character bow. Just asking before I try it.🤠
No problem tillering different styles on each limb.

You mean both limbs tillered to the same shape? The narrow deep limb would either not be deep, or it would take horrendous set, I think.
