Northern Farmer

We finished the last hay making this year today, I think. You never know what’ll come up. Tommorrow will be sharpening the knives in the chopper getting ready for silage chopping Monday.Sure do hope to get it done next week because that would be the end of any major harvesting for this year. What a difference from years ago when we raised alot of corn for grain. We used to work sometimes into December harvesting and drying the crop. With energy prices as they are now I’m thankful we’re not farming that way anymore. Just seems better to be able to take care of all the years crops during good weather times and save the later fall and winter for making firewood, hunting and some trapping. Time to teach the daughters a little more about firearms this year also. They grew up with me carrying rifles and shotguns around so they sure don’t have much fear of them. Although they still aren’t big enough for the double barrel 12 gauge.

All the news about New Orleans this week is sobering. I won’t comment much about my feelings on the subject except to say it’s a wake up call. We think, read, and blog about what society will be like in the future, but always it’s been mostly imagination, or should I say what we would imagine the future has in store. And then all of a sudden to really see it coming to pass. I cannot imagine any other way than the way the agrarian bloggers have been talking about as far as the future is concerned. As I think about the events it shows me that this is the path myself and my family must follow. No matter what we cannot follow the masses into such a hell pit of a future. I blog simply but I hope my belief in a Christian Agrarian society comes through here. If it helps one person to see the way, everything here is worth it. As time goes on and I get a little more confident blogging I hope to do everything that I can to help this dream come true. The future is either what’s been on TV this past week or following the Lord in an Agrarian culture. No two ways about it, no middle ground anymore. Simply put, choose life or choose death. Everyone has a choice, I pray that most choose life. Every step we take now should have this in mind, life or death. My family and myself choose the Lord and life.
