lsandersonHere on March 19th. I lied the other day, We've only set 8 records out of the last eleven days. Not ten yet. Rain is moving in, and it's only going to be in the upper sixties through the weekend. Went to work this morning without a jacket and the top down.
On the government teat front, we're planning on pulling the south quarter out of CRP and renting it out. It's the only part of the farm that is not flat. Hills rise on the south side of a low area filled with buffalo wallows, which were always wet enough to wet the tractor tires even during the summer haying. The low meadow, or at least parts of it, are virgin. It has wild tiger lilies and other flowers that you don't see much of.
