"Anybody out there?"
"Now that's a predicament!"
Hello all you farmers at heart. You know you're a farmer at heart if you still like the smell of the air right before or after a good rain. You know you're a farmer at heart if you still like to watch things grow. You know you're a farmer at heart if you still try to see the good in things no matter how upside down things might be in your life.
I just want to take this time to remind you guys to slow down a little. I know we all here in wheat country are gearing up for a spell of wheat drilling, so remember, we all want to see our crops grow up this coming spring. Let's all just be a little more thoughtful and careful.
Items newsworthy this week are that we are spraying all of our no-til and min-til wheat fields with the final application of RT III. This will help us control any remaining wheat that has come up voluntarily from the left overs of harvest, also any other invaders such as weeds that can weather the winter and other grasses that try to take over our fields. We are making preparations now to be seeding in about two more weeks - depending upon the rain from Hurricane Ike. We got basically nothing from hurricane Gustav last week - just a few cloudy foggy days.
It seems like fall has really come to the farm during this past week. We usually change seasons drastically here on the western Oklahoma prairie and this change is no exception. Well, farmers, there's nothing better than a hot cup of joe and a room full of babies on a beautiful, slow as molases, Sunday morning on the farm.
