Hey, I think it's workin'! :^) That's a lot of harvesting to do, I hope he knows what he's doing.

It’s a You-Pick Flower Farm this time of year, so he’ll have people PAY HIM to do the harvesting. $25 per car, according to his website. But 22 acres is a LOT of sunflowers! The local birds and small critters will be eating well, for sure.

I love the farmers that have come up with novel ideas to keep earning money during the Covid Sham-a-lama-ding-dong!

A local dairy rents land from us for crops for their milk cows; we gave them a 20% discount this season on the rent because they were FORCED to cut their production by 20%.

Plus - they give us all the milk we want for free! And instead of dumping it, they GAVE IT AWAY to anyone in the area that wanted some.

I read stories earlier this year of many, many dairy farms that did the same for their neighbors and communities.

Not everyone in this world is a jerk - thank goodness!
