Warm days where we can work in shorts and not heavy pants and flannel shirts!

Most of the crops are in but many things we do succession plantings so we can harvest for a longer time.

We are on our 3r d planting of sweet corn with 3 more to go before we stop. That will keep sweet corn at the stand from august to early september. Hulless and Mushroom popcorn are in, potatoes have popped the first few inches, now we watch for potatoe beetles and see if our new program that brought in microbes will work at keeping them under control organically. But we still hand pick as needed which is way too much work and gross.

It’s almost time to start cutting hay for the winter cow feed.

We have 11 piglets born this week- all and momma are doing well.

We have 8 calves and 2 more due. 1 is a struggle. She isn’t a good nurser and we have now taken her away from her momma to hand feed her. Momma is okay but isn’t very attentive and baby isn’t energetic. So we dont’ know how long she is drinking. So we hate doing, realy hate doing this but something is going on inside this little one and we need to intervene.
