Jacob, I think that one went north of us. We lost about 50 acres of crop. Got the hay made without rain. Unusual for this year.
You're kind of busy this time of year with trying to make hay for 320 head plus. Hope all goes well for you and the rains aren't a problem.

Trust me I know a bout the trials and tribulations of owning your own company!! We're doing a huge fire alarm job now that I can't wait until it's done. It has been nothing but a major PITA!! Many sleepless nights due to this one.

I have 500 acres of row crop and my son has 7 stock cows. We bale the waterways and headlands. He's farming with a neighbor till I retire. No big operation but it keeps us busy. Used to finish hogs until the mess starting in 1998 put that out of business. Still trying to recover from that. Today's grain prices are helping. Couple more years like this one and I will be back to where I was....
Glad to hear that you got the first cutting done well. If that is poor it is always tough to catch up later.

Jim, you didn't have to work on the alarm job on Saturday, did you? Hope you at least get the weekends off. Those kind of jobs show up every once in a while just to make you appreciate the good ones more. Hope you get it done soon.

If you live in Destin, thats not that bad. My wife has an Uncle living in Destin. Sounds like something we could do. I'll talk to her and see.
Mark, it you come I will help you with your walker so you can get around.
We need to get lots of people to go next year. Mike said he won't go again if there is not a good show next year. Jim, keep them in the dark for a little longer, till we get thing complete.
