TID BITS

Pain to circle this site just to post pictures.

 

The last few days been around central iowa and for the most part we are on track for full bins this fall.

Did a stretch of hwy 46 in n central Missouri yesterday afternoon and that junk ground has a very good crop in the making too. 

 

I was playing the drought card and it appears to be a joker instead.

I played with the "super duper" rain Guage and this is what about 8 inches of rain would look like in it.

 

I hope to miss that experience.

Dang  what a gauge ! When it wasn't raining a guy could use that to mix up a Long Island Ice Tea in  !  He may not walk to far after drinking one that size -  but who cares - right ?

Re: TID BITS

went to Ask.com and asked how much corn does a person use and got this...http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2013/03/07/how-much-corn-do-we-consume/

 

So I guess we are just being nice guys and working for nothing.
