Whew. A good one just blew through NE Kansas from Nebraska - probably headed toward Old. Hang on. 70 mile an hour wind and rain by the buckets. It was running in this hundred year old house in three places. It had just blown over and I was headed out to survey damage when some teenage joy riders stopped and said one of the heifers was out on the road. She was a one eye from pinkeye and must have boogered up the other on the fence during the storm. She could see the headlights on the mini truck but that was it. Finally got her in. Drove through water by the bull pen that was deep enough to run in the doors of the little truck. The little thing kept on running.
There are trees on the power lines to the machine sheds, trees down into the yard, and trees down in the steer fattening lot. I unhooked the old Farmall M from the grinder so it can do tree dragging duty. It's the lightest thing here with some power. I'll get up early and drag everything to the road and start loading it in the grain trucks with the loader tractor. We got 2 1/2 inches yesterday so I don't dare drive a big tractor near the yard. Now I get to see where I will have flooded out beans. I've still got 200 acres to plant but I might have to do some replanting if I can get in the fields in time. And I thought I was ahead of the game this year...
