Cough, Hack, Sneeze, Wheeze

I will be soooooooooo happy when this burn season gets over!  For some odd reason most of the farmers around us have decided to burn off last years’ crops instead of grazing them off.

I’m sure there would be many sheep and cattle people who would have loved to have the feed!!!!

We graze and then plow under.  In an effort to keep our soil healthy we feel turning what is left from the cows (poop and corn stalks) into the ground reduces cost of purchasing fertilizer and adds body to our clay-like soil.

 So until all the ground is turned under we will be plagued with smoke.  This is what it looks around our house the last couple of days.  Ugh.
