We're a good bit warmer than you guys. Going to be wet and cooler for the next week. Lows mid 50's at night. IF it germinates I might have wet feet issues. Good buddy lives in OKC. They are a solid 2-3 weeks ahead of us every yr; fruit tree blooms, leafing out, grass green up, etc. I'd...

Likely not warm enough. The internet says temps are borderline. I only did it hoping to get lucky with the milo. The farmers corn is all 2-3 inches tall. We are expected to get rain the next 5 days. Since I had everything out for the corn I took the gamble with the milo. Probably have to...

Corn and milo planted.

Absolutely love his knives! (Tooln's too)

And... the kid's car is on the road again.

Deer are loving the spring plots.

I sure like the regrowth after a burn. In another week it will be crazy green and beautiful!

We've got named pastures. Originated from way back a long time ago. Original owners such as "The Sweet Place" or "Fox's", locations such as "lower middle pasture", or identifiers such as "the watershed pasture". I personally don't like to name places or pastures, but it helps when you have to...

I didn't know you'd gotten rid of your herd. I kind of enjoyed (and looked forward to seeing how that was going to pan out) what you were doing with the cows.

I'm not convinced ag products won't still go up with the reasoning that everything to produce them went up.

I showed up every Saturday with a grill and sausages, left a 6 pack of barley pop, and brought a couple of drivers and some ball to hit at the pond. On Sundays I swept the floors, picked up trash, and hauled off scraps.

We drew up our own plans. Gave them to the GC and asked for advice. He pointed us in the right direction through decades of experience. It worked out well. I found the GC invaluable. He had contractors on standby who he had vetted over the years. He bought materials at discount through...

I imagine he does really like it!

Things passed down from grandpa always seem the most special. Sorry you didn't get what you expected, but maybe the thought behind it overcomes the craftmanship. Thanks on the compliment. The builder carries a knife that has a grape vine in it. Ancestors that immigrated to the US brought...
