Howdy! Welcome to my little blog. I decided to try my hand at this thing called blogging. And what a better topic to blog about than what I love doing and that is farming!
I will use this blog to let you follow along with me as I attempt to have a successful farming operation in this challenging time of high input costs and low commodity prices.
Where do we stand as of now? Well that can be answered in one word: DRY! The winter and spring of 2009 has been extremely dry and windy here on the high plains of Texas. So we are starting a little behind the eight ball but there have been some scattered thunderstorms around so we could catch up on moisture anytime. Every day we are one day closer to a rain.
What is the current state of the farm? We have wheat for harvest growing and have begun haying some of our wheat. Fertilizer is going out on the cotton and peanut ground. I still don't have a good plan on how many acres are going into peanuts and cotton, but peanut acres will be down this year due to low prices and demand for peanuts. Please eat more peanuts!
I will do my best to keep you posted.
