Well, I was lucky enough to travel around the storm of last week. Not sure if I should say lucky or not–my family (mostly my brother) had me stressed out about travelling. I am still so tense in my neck and shoulder that I really need a massage! I was […]

Well, we’ve turned the calendar page to December–oh no! I really need to put my thinking cap on and start making a list of what I should be looking to buy for my family and friends. That is the difficult part for me–I’m not a shopper. It is one thing […]
Monday marked one month until Santa arrives! I wish I could say I was all ready for his arrival. I did start my outdoor lights but like many others, you put the lights away working and they magically don’t work as I pull them out of my numerous Rubbermaid containers. […]
It sounds like we missed out on the brunt of wintery weather once again after hearing how nasty road conditions were north of us. We likely would have had quite a dump of snow ourselves over the weekend had it not been so wet. Not sure what is worse? It […]
Most know that where I live and farm was my great-grandpa’s place, followed by my great uncles (Bud and Charlie is how they were known for their lives). Charlie fought in World War II but did not share many stories about this time as it was an extremely tough for […]
Well, for those of you who didn’t make the RRFA dinner and entertainment night on Saturday, you missed out on a great time! The board was very organized so the meeting portion passed quickly. And congratulations to Elaine Aveyard, who let her name stand to join the current board. Bernie […]
Another frosty morning on Monday but I think this is the only way I’ll be able to tackle some straw baling–and plowing work that I still need to do! It will require a fair bit of clothing but I will try to finish these jobs (if you see me off […]
Snow day! Ugh, I don’t think we are ready for this yet. Or maybe I should just speak for myself: “I am not ready for this yet!” I may have jinxed myself as I did spend some time over the weekend doing some winterizing. I dread turning the heat on […]
I was really thankful to have three days off this past weekend! Of course, you never get caught up on your list but it still was nice to be home! And even better, we enjoyed two Thanksgiving meals (neither of which I cooked and trust me I am thankful for […]
Well, another cattle sale is behind us! We sold 1,358 animal for a total of $1,183,157.55. Things went well despite the heavy downpours of rain throughout the day Saturday. This makes it very difficult for our workers, but we have some good ones so they survived. It is even more […]
It is looking to be a busy week across the district! A cattle sale is set for this Saturday at the Stratton sales barn, which means many producers are trying to round up cattle a little closer to home and sort out which will stay and which will go! We […]
Nothing like a good frost to remind you that are our warm days and nights are coming to a close. Alas, summer once again has flown by. It will be interesting to see what will take place now with some of my longer-season soybeans. I’m doubtful we will have beans […]
