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.

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

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.

Manure on the move.

Country roads have many interesting vehicles moving these days.

I recommend you don’t follow too closely any hauling manure. Better to take your time and back off.

What’s coming down the road?

Tractors and chopper wagons are bringing in silage from the fields.

It’s just the beginning of the busy harvest season. Later, corn will be combined.

Soybeans are ripening now. Many farms are busy in soybean fields.

The world is opening up again as corn comes out of fields. It’s when a year’s worth of work starts paying off.

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