Milo Planting

I realize I'm a little behind, but found these pictures on my camera and thought I'd bore you a little.

If you look close you can see green plants already growing in this field. This is from the first time we planted. It was so hot and dry this summer, that not even half of the seeds came up...so we re-planted.

Grandpa has a GPS on his tractor. He stays away from my quilting machine, and I don't touch the GPS. Fair to me 'cause I can get home by myself! He actually uses it to plant straight rows and when they're spraying fields so rows don't get sprayed twice. I know how it works, but don't want to learn how to use it. I'd rather be in the sewing room while they're doing this.

This really shows the bare spots in the field. The dead stubble is from last year's crop. We No-Till crops which means we don't over-work the fields.

Troy working REAL hard. I think he was dreading going back to school in a few days.

This is an EXACT measurement. Counting steps. So somebody tell me that they do this too? Troy's feet are a few inches longer than Dad's tho.

We had early milo and late milo. This is a picture of Milo that actually made a crop and we harvested about a month ago. If you buy bird seed, there is probably yellow or red milo mixed in with it. Most of what we raise goes to feed cattle.
This is the new semi (my Birthday present) that I can't drive because it takes a LEFT foot to push in the clutch! But, I don't drive it because I CAN'T drive it...it likes Troy and DH shifting better than me.
