I hope you get to visit them Ben. I have a lot of cousins. I think it’s something like 162 first cousins. I see most of them every couple years.

Dang BJ I thought I had a bunch of first cousins at 38, momma had 13 brothers and sisters and dad just 1 brother. Pappy

Thanks pappy. I think we maybe got a little carried away for an old farm truck, but dang she is going to be a very nice truck and should be a worker for many years after I’m done.

I hope to make it to Elm Hall but fair week usually keeps me busy. I’ll try to sneak out for a visit if I can. Will look you up if I do

Yeah it took me a long time to find a girl I wasn’t related to in our neighborhood.

Thanks Bob. I’d love to see you take her for a trip. She really does look like new.

We did finish wheat yesterday. It is such a relief. It was all good quality and our yields were very respectable.

Today I hauled beet lime for our fields. We use limestone in the process of refining sugar. The limestone is dissolved and broken down into a fine powder that is a bi product. It is very well suited for use on our fields for keeping our ph levels correct.

Out of the wheat line and in the lime line. Went pretty good. I got two loads today. Be hauling more tomorrow

The beans are growing like crazy. Here’s some of our black beans. A few “pin beans” just starting to grow.
