The Atfermath

It seems like everyone around here has finally seemed to get things going again after Hurricane Ike came through, although I know it will take much longer for those further south. We are finally getting to bail our last hay cutting as the rain has let up for a little while. I didn't quite think we would be doing it in the end of September into early October but that is how it is working out. The guys hauling the hay sure haven't been complaining about the temperature in the sixties at night.

Deer season kicks off this weekend for the bow hunters in our area. A lot of people are planting more food plots this year due to the price of corn and protein. Hopefully they were able to get it planted before all of that good rain, although now is the time to plant for all of you gun hunters.

Rain Scare

Well, I never thought that I would be wishing for it not to rain in August but Gustav had me thinking just that. It has been raining so much this month that we have not been able to cut our hay fields. This in addition to the fact that one of our hay fields flood during extremely heavy rains had us dreading the possible foot of rain the weather man was describing. Luckily it does not look like that will be the case, and as soon it is dry enough we will be getting in our last cut.
