What’s amazing, though, is that all of the crop land around us (112 acres that we rent out) is doing really well. They’ve gotten FOUR cuttings of Hay off, and the feed corn and soybeans and wheat all did just fine.
Grateful for that, at least. The Dairy Cows will be fed well all winter and produce healthy calves come Spring. :)

Went down to check them about 10:00 this morning. 5 more drops and then I found some were ready for picking and bagging. Here's what I got, I would estimate about the same amount ready in the next day or so. Last year it was either 27 or 29. This year - so far 8 yesterday, 49 today. Many are smaller than the normal big ones, lack of rain and hubby used to love watering them and I was not able.

Definitely a feel good day.
