We kicked off Wheat Harvest 2014 yesterday. So far, yields are looking great! #farmlife #blessed #wheat2014

Our cotton is loving these cloudy desert days...Probably even more than we are, which is saying a lot.
Still filling the barns for winter, but not much space left. Get yours reserved soon if you're looking for #AZalfalfa...
Made lovely #hay all over the farm last night. One more pass with the baler for Brandon, then off I go to haul it into the barn.
Today on the farm: still cultivating cotton, loading a hay truck and getting some invoices shipped out...which means checks shipped in!
Thankful for good baling conditions two nights in a row...it's about time!

In better news, some fresh hay is getting baled up right now. Hopefully we can start filling some new orders.
Eight days of planting cotton = eight days of working on the cotton planter. #farmlife
We have cotton in the ground, folks. Should start the irrigation water tomorrow. A good feeling after a week of planter troubles.
Enjoyed lunch with @ILFarmBureau members today as they tour AZ this week!
Calm before the storm right now. Just keeping the grain wet and getting the hay equipment ready for the looming first cutting.

Rainy weekend on the farm = day in the shop for Brandon, day of catch-up in the office for me. I think he got the better end of the deal.

Something about 20 degrees and crazy winds make night irrigating especially unappealing today...
Should be running water on the new alfalfa stands tomorrow. Look out, 2011 hay season! We'll be ready for you.
Yesterday: sunflower harvest. Today: cotton picking. In between: alfalfa planting. Busy week on the farm, but always worth it!
