thanks for the comments guys. i did this in a rush the other night as i didn't think i would be starting that day.
to start out and get all up to speed, this is a continuation of several year thread at the old place. i am small family farmer in se nd. i am larger than the average us farm but on the small side compared to many in my area. my grandfather and his brother moved down the road from my place in 1920 and within a short period of time lost it. his brother then moved back to iowa and my grandfather and his family moved to where i live now. i sleep in the room my father was born in and lived most of his life. none of that is really important but it does give some background,
i grow wheat, soybeans, corn and alfalfa as well as having a small pasture and a few head of cattle. as far as the workforce, i am pretty much it for full time. my sons help when they can but one is a full time paramedic and the other is a full time student. i also have a couple couple good friends who will help when it gets extremely busy. up until last year my dad was here nearly every day and was a huge help. he is greatly missed even if he didn't fo the hard labor as much as he used to.
there won't be pictures every day but i will try and get pics of important times and activities through the season. some days there is so much going on i don't know where to turn and other days nothing happen so that is what this thread will be like.
