The deer are eating the corn, yum-yum. Not a good thing. Good for the deer. but not the bottom line.
Still I don’t think we are going to be hurt! It would take more than the small sized herd we have living on our place.
We did have a nice melt yesterday.
A few of the farmers have started started corn harvest. Just a small amount of farmers. Terry is thinking possibly Friday we can start…of course it depends on the melt, the mud, and the moisture content of the knerals. I’m sure when everything gets just right for us the rest of the the farmers will be ready also. 🙂
That is when the lines are long, long, long at the elevator. Still, it will mean Corn Harvest (and paycheck)!
Today we are building fence. Seems like there is always something that needs done. 🙂
I hope your day is going well for you. As always, Your friend on a western Colorado Farm,

Your farm is just so very different from ours Linda and it makes such fascinating read to hear all about it. Hope things go well with the corn.

It is always exciting when harvest finally comes around, months after sowing. I hope your harvest goes really well.

I thought about you and your corn fields earlier today, saw that some idiot wanted to feed deer and he was advised not to feed corn because deer couldn’t digest it…someone should tell the deer! I hope it works out to start your harvest tomorrow, thinking good thoughts! 🙂

The DOW tells people to not feed the deer alfalfa…I guess the deer who live on our farm don’t know that. They LOVE the alfalfa fields!

We have a Chinook happening here which as a big warm wind…hopefully it keeps you warm down there. The big pest in the corn fields here is raccoons.

We have trouble with raccoons when the corn is green. But deer all the time. a Chinook would be nice! If it doesn’t blow the corn over. 😦
