2009… 35k acre wheat harvest from NM to CO. 2 9600s, 2 9770s, 1 9650. Just some dumb teenagers who didn’t have a clue what we were doing. 10/10 would recommend one wheat harvest tour in your life.

My wife is 7 ish months pregnant… complained about her hip hurting tonight and I showed her this and said things could be worse. Unrelated note: does anyone have a couch I could crash on tonight?

She’s a trooper. We are planning to move everyone tomorrow as we have done about all we can with this three week limited diet. We bring in feed every morning for her group then watch consumption. She has been on a diet to help keep calf from getting larger. Time will tell

Checked a sprinkler on the way to the hospital while my wife was in labor yesterday. She noticed it was out of line while she was in the middle of a contraction. 3rd kid problems I guess. Happy to announce our little Marley made a successful entrance into the world 7 years after

My favorite farming activity is trying a new snake oil from a company… telling them it was applied adjacent to the plot they think it was… letting them brag about it all year and telling them at harvest where it actually was applied.

Welcome to my fall circus. Each pumpkin is clipped, cleaned, stickered, sorted by size, taken to the shed, unloaded, loaded onto an OTR truck, sent to a distribution center (or pumpkin patch) and finally to your wife’s pumpkin spice loving hands. From there it’ll be sliced

I’ve had this on my mind for a few years… I’ll try to flesh it out in a comprehensible form. After harvest every single year, I have a mental dump. The intensity on the farm plummets even though lots office work has to be done, repairs, shop work etc. It’s like my primal DNA

Peppers are beat up… probably 35-50% loss but this rye was 3’ tall before the hail. Would have been 100% loss without it.

It’s one thing to have a heart breaking, crop destroying hail. It happens, you move on knowing you got the short end of the stick. This year has been just as destructive, but it’s been spread out over months of triple digit heat, wind, and very little rain except for the one that
