Year of the Farmer

You are reading this sign correctly The Great Indiana State Fair and their Sponsor Dow AgriSciences  has named 2015 fair theme to be  "Year of the Farmer" Not that farmers need to be told what to do they are always learning what they can do to better their land and care of their animals. If you want to know more about farming go to the State Fair and see all the the learning experiences at the Glass Barn and all the other buildings.  But it will be special to see this honor unfold.  I imagine if a farmer can walk or even if he is in a wheelchair he will be in the field with the weather we are having   Call it Indian Summer or the summer we didn't have.  On that note I have work to do so  take care and enjoy this weather.

Beautiful View

As the farmers go through the fields the view is great but he is busy watching other pictures that come over the screens in the combine.  Everything is so technical  It tells you a lot of what your field is producting .  We all know as time goes by  it will not get easier but there will be more to learn.

Zeus says forget about the harvest lets just go for a ride.  He is waiting for me.  He has even gotten in the UPS truck looking for a treat.

Random Thoughts

I thought I would touch base with my readers.  I know it has been a while I didn't plan on spending so much time in the Berries and Ivy store.  But if you want to succeed at a business  you need to put the effort  into it.  

 Farming is coming along the guys try to get some corn shelled everyday.  We have had some break downs.  But also we had a grain dryer fire one morning and we have had some mishaps that contribute back to the fire.  We are waiting on parts for the grain leg.  We can only use one grain leg so it restricts  what we can do and how we move grain around.  The cows are good no problems one thing I have to say we haven't run out of pastures for all of them.  That is a good thing. Below is a picture of 2 of my special guys.  The little one has left this earth a couple of months ago so I have been looking for a rescue to replace his cute little being.  

Take care and be careful and watch for slow moving vehicles
