I'm sure you wish it were a month ago and you were driving on dryish 50 degree dirt, but some years are just like that.
I remember a few years..... One I finished corn on thanksgiving day, but there was mid and 5 inches of snow at that time that year. The last week I could go,out a couple hours each morning, could combine until it broke through, thrn drive to the end of the field, don't try to finish a round or anything, just get out now!

Every year is different.
Looking good. Forecast probably has you motivated a bit.
I hear as of yesterday, a fella 10-15 miles from me has 500 acres left to go.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
