Although, it’s a ton of work, Terry decided he wanted to fill one of the Butler bins with the remaining corn in the field
So yesterday in the warmth of the afternoon we hauled out the auger
Set it up
Then while he combines I will fill the bin; saving corn to sell at a later date.
BUT WAIT!!!!!!
Our neighbor a mile away, who is a big rancher in the area drove down our lane just as we were about to start filling the bin!
“I sure could use some corn, if you have any extra,” he explained
“We have extra”, Terry replied.
So as luck and the blessings of Heaven everything works out for the both of us.ย Our corn has a new home and the rancher’s cows have more feed!
Life is good!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
That worked out well for everyone. I see Boomer was supervising.

At least it wasn’t in the bin…that would have been lots of work, but it could have been done.

Sounds like a good excuse for a celebration once the resting is done. You have worked hard all summer and now get to do the winter stuff. Enjoy the harvest. So happy things worked out so well.

Winter is a slowing down, that is for sure, but not a complete stopping.
