*Tomorrow is weed day....the pigs shall be happy.
*Looking at the corn fields and bean fields around the area, they are looking sparse...some are yellowing from excess water. Haven't noticed any of our crops doing so yet...
*Farm which we normally buy hay/straw from is not selling anything as of yet this year. He says weather not cooperating enough for him to chance selling. Wondering if part of it has to do with what happened last year with the hay drought. Time to speed us search for a Scythe.
