As the days grow shorter and the nights longer we are given the chance to reflect on the passing year. This year has been extraordinarily busy on the farm. With the dry spring we were able to start our field work on time which resulted in good field management. The corn field was well worked leaving us with and adequate seed bed and timely sowing of the corn seed. All our efforts resulted in an excellent corn crop. Our first two grass crops were abundant with good quality silage being put into winter storage. A dry summer however resulted in a lack of third cut hay, but with September showers and then more sun we received a resurgence of grass. This resurgence of grass extended our grazing season an extra month!! As usual, fall is calving season on the farm and we have 24 new calves to date with only five left yet to be born.
The new pig nursery and feeder barn has progressed throughout the year. With all the field work we have done this year, work on the barns often got bumped off the priority list. Now with all the machinery washed and put away for the winter building should resume. We also got a new boar this year with the retirement of our old boar Doug. Our new boar, Ted, is a little immature but we hope he will work out!
