Happy Veterans Day

We got finished with combining and stalk chopping Mon. night! Carl finished the ripping yesterday. They all got started on cleaning up equipment including vacuuming inside the cabs, power washing the outside, scraping mud off, etc. I caught up on paying bills, laundry, etc. and met Bill, Pam & Carl at Ropa's for lunch, then went to my P.E.O. meeting at 1:30.

Bill's planning on getting started applying anhydrous to the bean ground today which I think he said is about 900 acres and would take him 3-4 days to do with the right weather. They get the tanks from West Bend. While Bill is applying one tank (pulls it with the red 4 wheel drive tractor), Carl or Tim go get a 2nd tank with a pickup so that it'll be waiting when the first one runs out. Then they go back & forth getting them refilled. Depending on how many other guys are needing them, they can maybe get 3-4 at the end of the day so that Bill can run with them after closing time. This all needs to be done before the ground freezes.

The following is being shared on Facebook today.

To all our fighting men and women: "A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including life." That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." - Author Unknown...
