Farm Science Review, cow pics, and hay news.

So the farm science review was last week put on by The Ohio State University.  Was fun and educational and I was able to take the entire family this year.  This was my sons first time going and he ran all day long!  The best part of the day was getting to see the next tractor that I want to have for the farm.  

 The kids both liked it because it has two seats!  I like it because of the push button shifting, auto shift computer controlled speed settings, much larger cab, swivel seat, and, amongst many other great things, more power!!!  However, if any of the designers for the interior layout of the Kubota tractors reads this....please call me.  I have some very good input that would help you blow away the competition.  The rest of the platform is premium but the interior is definitely not structured to compete for the typical American farmer.  I still love the tractor and if I had the money would own several more in a heart beat!

It is definitely autumn.  The horse mushrooms are popping up already.  The pinks were last month after a couple of heavy rains, now we are seeing the start of these.  They get much much larger, sometimes up to 10 inches across when fully open.  They a little different in flavor from the pinks but still good to eat.

Next I am posting some pics of my son, Mr. Smooth, showing off for the women.  His sister had a friend over to play with for the day and he put on his shades and was standing on the tire swing showing off his moves. 

Posing for the camera!

I was off from work today due to illness but was starting to feel better this afternoon so after feeding the pigs and cows I walked out into the pasture to see how everyone was doing.  I was delighted to see Candy Apple's little boy hanging out with Princess and Fifty. 

This is Princess, Fifty's little girl born this year.

To show you how small Candy Apple's little man is...but soooooo cute!

Here is Fifty's second daughter Precious feeding her first daughter Pearl. 

Picture of Mother and Daughter together.   Princess was born the end of July.

Pearl by herself after eating, she was born the end of April and is getting quite big already, probably around 500 + lbs.

As for hay, got almost all my third cutting done and fourth cutting here at the house.  Only two small fields left to bale and third will be complete.  Unfortunately it has been very light on the harvest due to the extensive drought.  Prices of hay are starting to skyrocket already and we haven't even gotten a good start on fall yet.  Don't even want to think about what things will be like come February. 

Have a great day everyone.
