Country road traffic

Usually my road is quiet, but not during harvest.

Remember to be careful and patient when passing farm machinery.

Hope everyone stays safe.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Fall work on the farm

The wagons are heading to the field to fill up on chopped corn.

Eventually, this chopped corn goes to the farm where it is mounded up and covered. It will turn into silage and feed livestock all winter long.

A dusty job

Things can be too wet or too dusty on the farm for spring work. It doesn’t take much thought to figure out what kind of weather has been here this month.

I finished mowing before the machinery got close to my backyard. For a while, it was a race to see if I would finish before the dust cloud swooped over me. I just made it!

The area will be looking for rain soon. Too bad precipitation isn’t forecast to come in the near future.

A look at some country living

I know a few city people who moved to the country and were shocked when farm machinery rolled around their neighborhood making noise.

Spreading manure is also part of dairy farming, but at least it isn’t every day. Country living is still great.

Corn being combined

Like Bob, I watch my renters working to get the corn out of the field.

Hopefully, the rain will not stop this harvest. These acres are the last fields of the year for the Maass Family.
