Lubbock, Texas | yea today was just a horrible weather day I hate the wind blowing so hard like that
I was pretty sure you were a damn good farmer Milo just because you even still farm in the area, but seeing those last few wheat pics you might be one of the best farmers there is to even have that.....and I am not joking
I am shocked you have anything that looks remotely green much less that looks like it is an actual planted crop in rows, with green growth and that could even possibly do anything at all with any amount of appreciable rain
I figured by now the wheat in those last pics would have been left in the field as little dried up patches of dead roots and leaf matter barely hanging on to the soil and waiting to blow away in clumps like mini-wheat tumbleweeds after the final bit of soil still holding the roots blew away from around them
you must have done everything right in that last pic to even have that......I can't believe you even got a crop up to look that good much less that is it still on the farm and not 500 miles away blowing around somewhere......not to even mention that if rain ever fell again you could maybe cut for hay or forage or even have something to just hold soil firm and keep moisture going into the ground VS washing off or just drying up and evaporating
again to some it might sound crazy, but that is a hell of a crop for what you were working with and that is even if you get nothing from it because at least it is keeping more of the farm from leaving for places far away in the wind......and again shocking anyone could even get that start in your conditions
one of these days all that trial and heart ache and "learning" will hit for you.......and then you can save it up again for times like these :(.......hopefully that time comes with matching high prices and soon........your farm dirt is clogging my nose and making my eyes itch :( | |
