Beautiful days

Parker Payne aka Daddy's Helper
Hi Farmers! We've been having some exceptionally beautiful weather here at the farm. Most years this month is exceptionally hot and dry but not now. We've had great moisture and cool mornings and just almost hot afternoons. Parker our 3 year old has been really interested in "helping" here lately. He often asks "Can I help you, Daddy?" I let him come out with me a lot of times. How could I ask for more? Children are certainly a precious gift from the Lord. In other farm news, we've been trying to get some ag-lime spread on the Miller place, Kaiser farm and the Long 1/4. Hopefully this week's weather will bode well for getting this project completed. Ag-lime is a product we apply to the soil to help increase the pH level of the soil. Ag-lime is a product made up simply of ground up rock that is normally put on roads. We spread it on with a big wheel fertilizer spreader. I'll take a pic today and let you see the operation.
