Farm Tour

Today I went to the farm to see how the crops were progressing.  Really, I wanted to check on how the sweet corn was coming along, but with the substantial rain the last few days I couldn't make it back to where it is planted.  I can't wait for the sweet corn to be ready.  One of the best parts of summer is eating BLT's, watermelon, and sweet corn that we raise ourselves.

While I was gallivanting around the farm I saw two snakes which I ran over with my vehicle....OOPS!!!  I do not like snakes one bit!!  They were obviously on a suicide mission crossing the road right in front of me.

Anyhow, since I was at the farm I thought I would give you a little tour of things.

Remember when I told you about my hubs planting seeds?  This is what those seeds are becoming.

The corn plants are growing everyday.

This tree is in our pasture.  I love it because it has character and it stands alone.  We have a pasture gate that sits at an angle and when you pull up to the gate the tree is perfectly framed in the gate {maybe that is my photographer's eye....not that I am a photographer, but it is a hobby I enjoy}.  I will get a picture of it someday.  Anyhow, this tree has made a great come back from a terrible storm we had a few years back.  You can still see some limbs laying on the ground.

This is our pasture swimming pool!!!  Gorgeous huh!!!

It is hard to see, but there is a mama cow taking in some rays by the pasture pond.

Our pasture is full of these NOXIOUS weeds also known as a Yucca plant.  A YUCK-A plant is right!!!!  I can't believe people would buy these.  I am going to have a sale on them so please stop by anytime.  It will be a buy one for FREE and get three more for FREE.  You have to dig them up yourself, but with that great price who cares!!!

Moving on....here is one of our hay fields.  Technical term for this plant is alfalfa.  We will start swathing and baling soon.

Here is one of the wheat fields.

And more wheat.  It is starting to head out.

And here is another corn field.....you can't farm in Nebraska and not raise corn!!!!  Thanks for coming along!!!
