Seeding and april storms in May

Well.. it's a deep subject... but.. anyways..

Seeding is almost done.. Old Grumpy says he totally forgot a "tiny" field.. Didn't seed it... and just remembered it this morning..

We had a whopper storm last night... stuff blowing around in the yard... Trees bashing against the house...buckets of rain coming down..I got very little sleep between the racket of the storm, and the racket old grumpy makes when ever he's awake..and he was awake most of last night.

I'm making a little progress on the clean up after seeding.. It's a ritual that happens mostly because the guys don't stop to clean.. at all.. ever... during seeding. They just barely eat.. They just go... hour after hour. after hour...until they are done the crop seeding..
Trying to seed a good crop... right depth.. right spacing.. right time of year.. right PH levels in the soil..hopefully without fighting weeds too much..
That's not too much to ask.. is it???

ah ya.. It's so easy to pick of a loaf of bread in the store.. or a bag of lentils.. .. or get beer from the liquor store...very easy..lol

I know I'm a farmer.. but the people that put in the crops and get them off the field during harvest deserve a bit more appreciation...plus the people that sell the products .. and the people that make those products into edible foods for the masses...We're so used to how easy it is to just go to the store and get whatever we want..

Oh boy.. I just realised I'm ranting..
But the rest of the world doesn't have it as easy as we do..
I'm sure you all watch the news occassionally.. enough to know that many, many, many people are starving in various parts of the world.

Let's do our part.. let's share a little...Money.. or grain.. or food products.. or blankets.. or first aid supplies...

I forgot what I started out to say.. but anyways..
have a good day.. Think of others.. even if it's your next door neighbor that needs a bit of something.. an encouraging word.. or whatever..
Thinking of others is something that is so important..

End of rant..
God bless...
Stars..



Looking forward to a good year ahead!!

yup.. I was outside.. picking up random things in the yard that had blown there... Got mud on my flip flops.. Now I have to vacuum up the dried mud on my floors.. because I have been living the city life lately..and forgot that the ground gets muddy when it rains... ahahaha.. not really.. but still.. mud on the bottom of my flip flops...!!.. I will survive...


Looking forward to a good year ahead!!

Yes, sometimes when you are "seeding" you just gotta keep going and going and going.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

If it was easy everyone would be doing it. Ha ha I am just a one man show here but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Watching a calf be born, or seeing a corn or soybean plant poking thru the soil. One of the best things in the world 😊

Anything worth doing is worth doing right

Coming from a farming family (potatoes in Northern Maine), I can relate to all of the challenges in putting in and harvesting a crop. We never owned the farms but treated them as our own. My Dad was the operations chief and spent as much time on the Farmall as I did. It was a good way of life but in the end it wasn't for me.

When I was young we picked rocks as soon as the ground thawed, and then broke the ground to get ready for the planters to come through. Then for me it was going back through the 200 acres with my cousins to pick rocks again and then make sure that the dirt kept up with the growth of the plants.

Dad would never let me be around when they were doing the pesticide work. I believe we used Temek to control the weeds but that was many years ago in another life. I have great respect for the farmers and the family farm. They do the hard work so we can get that loaf of bread, or veggies off the shelves when we want to at almost anytime of the year.

I pray for good weather, just enough rain, and a strong back for all my famr friends.
