We finally have all our corn planted. We are late,normally it needs to be planted in March, but because it was so dry in April and May we could not get it planted. We have had a shower on a regular basis. Maybe this year we will have a corn crop.

The corn needs to come off the fields after August 2. Than we can use the corn silage to feed our cows in there year of transition to organic.

We are in the process to selling all our heifers. Because feed prices are so high.

Jan made a big pond, so that we can catch rain water for irrigation later when it hits a dry spill.

   Jan started on August 3rd 2008  working on Lake Fryslan in front of our house.

We have our fields cleaned up. There was no corn but lots of grass and weeds, after we planted it looked great but it quit raining on us. We now planting ryegrass and probely never plant corn again. Our cows will be outside for most of the year grazing.

Come back next week i will put some pictures on!
