Farm Happenings for August 13, 2019

Posted on August 8th, 2019 by Shiloh Avery

As you probably already know, one of my favorite activities is to float the river.  Just ooze along wherever the lazy current takes you.  You’ve made a plan, of sorts, in that you placed a vehicle at the take out and then put in somewhere up river, but you can’t do much about much except float along and enjoy yourself.

In some ways, that describes this season on the farm.  I mean, don’t get me wrong, we’re still bustling about trying to get all the crops planted, tended and harvested and ready for market, but by this point we’re simply putting one foot in front of the other-following the plan we made in December. We are already well down the river of 2019.  We can note the flaws in the plan and hope we remember when we get off this boat in December and circle back around to begin again, but there’s not a lot we can do about it at this point.
