Trying New Things








We are lucky this year to be able to try some new things. We planted corn for the very first time and so far it is doing really well. The rains flooded it a couple times this spring and summer, but it still grew up nice and tall as the pictures show. The kids want to run through it, but they just might get lost. The picture with Wyatt in it gives you a good idea how tall it is. We are excited to see how the yields turn out. The other thing we are trying is forage beans to make silage bales out of. That is the stuff the three kids are all standing together in. It grows like crazy. We are going to try cutting some within the next week if we can find a few dry days in a row. We are having lots of fun here and wish everyone could experience it with us.
