On the rise

I went to Arizona for the National Cattleman's Beef Association trade show and presented with U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance.  We are launching a free app called engAGe that aims to let farmers quickly get updates and share news on all the social channels.  (I'll share when it launches.)





The opposite of Arizona was Tuesday this week.  The snow melted and it rained for two days.  The ground was still frozen, so there was nowhere for it to go but up!  Our house and barns are on high ground, so no harm done.  The water came up over the culvert, but not over our road - but roads were closed in other places.  (Yes, the same places it rains when we desperately need it and don't get it in the summer!)  Now that it's Thursday, it's definitely down.





We still have a few cows that are calving ... the cows are doing great ... machines are breaking ... so just the regular end-of-February.  Except - there's rain in the forecast for tomorrow, so we'll see how high this creek can really get!
