End of summer


Don't you think it's interesting when a child follows in a parent's footsteps?

Obviously this happens a lot in agriculture. Although we are on my family's farm, Kris also comes from a long line of farmers. Here he is with his dad Mike, who delivered bales this week.

I like asking people who I think have great jobs if they would recommend it to their kids...and often the answer is no.

Do you want your kids to follow in your career footsteps?

(Zero of my kids seem inclined to be either farmers OR marketing writers. But there's time!)

Also - there's the beauty of the cows and pasture...and the beauty of technology and machinery! 

1. Manure haulers to fertilize our fields, this week after we chopped alfalfa. Thanks guys!

2. This keeps algae and residue from clogging up the irrigation pipe. We used to have to clean it out by hand once or twice a day. 

3. The irrigation system that keeps our pastures and crops hydrated during this pretty dry summer!





We're getting ready for harvesting corn. It's kind of short due to the lack of rain, but it still looks good. The kids are back in school, I'm working, and we're all readying (and honestly, ready) for cold weather!
