The corn is doing well—We have three fields of corn!

The second alfalfa field is just about ready to cut—maybe tomorrow.  Forward we go!  Another round of Hay and Hay customers.  YAY!!!

This is the first cutting for two fields. We are going to have a busy summer with two fields of alfalfa!

Second cutting will be close to the Fourth of July!

Today is Absolutely Gorgeous—Thursday, April 10, 2025

The sun lingers longer and longer

The two alfalfa fields are brimming with the color green

The air is heavy with the scent of warmth, the sound of birds, and

Terry and I are brimming with enthusiastic energy.

Supposed to be 80* today— I AM READY!

LADYBUGS!   Keeping the alfalfa free of pests!

Once the stems dry down the Lady Bugs fly away.  They come back after the plant gets a few leaves back on it.

Ain’t Nature Grand!
