About Dayphoto

My name is Linda Brown. I live on a farm on the western slope of Colorado, in the high mountain desert. I’ve lived here all my life, hailing back four generations on my father’s side. Today I blog about our farm, the everyday activities that keep the farm going. I also write about my thoughts and dreams and goals. On Friday’s I always write about TLC Cai-Cai. Our sweet kitty who helps keep the farm safe. And Boo Berry Betty, a breeder dog learning to be a Farm Dog! The lovely thing about blogging it opens the world up for all of us to reach out and meet people from many different cultures and different ways of life. You can find me every day (but Saturday) at https://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com/ Your Friend on a Western Colorado Farm, Linda Brown

The Bean Puller

The bean puller sets on the front of the tractor, is full of special rods that pull up the beans and push them into rows.

When pulled the beans are allowed to dry for at least a week. The weather needs to hold, hot and dry. If the rains come the rows will be smashed flat and the beans buried in the mud. Not good! Hot, dry weather, no wind, is what we need now.
