Old Ways verses New

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Its been so busy around here I’m having a hard time finding time to write anything nowadays! But such is life in summer on the farm. Busy cultivating corn today and its a little behind but looking pretty good although we’re getting short on moister again. So what else is new? I’d probably [...]

Real Corn Link

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I’ve been busy dropping hay in the fields today, tomorrow will be the same, although if it would rain we’d gladly take it and never complain around these parts. The corn is finally starting to grow a little bit being that its warming up in these parts finally. Still no heat waves [...]

Return to the Country

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Glory to God, its looking like an old fashioned Minnesota summer around here!
