First cutting is nearly done. This has by far been the rainiest spring I can remember. Our soybeans look good, but will need another spray of roundup. The beans are on sandy soil so the rain is good for them. Just hard to get hay dry. We should be mowing the 500 acres of custom work this week. With the delay we are looking at possibly only 3 cuttings this year.
We are learning a lot in our Financial Peace University course. Trying to modify it to our farm business is going to be interesting. I am starting the envelope system for groceries this week. Hope it helps and I do not get many complaints. We are out of hamburger. Jeremy needs to get the vet out to check the heifers so we can send some to butcher.
On Saturday I started Paul & Ruth on commission for doing some light chores around the house. Ruth doesn't quite understand yet, but Paul is eating it up! He gets a quarter for putting away the silverware, taking out garbage or picking up toys. They designed their own "banks" with stickers and clear plastic containers out of the recycling. Paul is eager to earn more money so he can take it next week for children's church. Amy is rolling all over the place and is still in the 90% percentile for height... 27 inches at 6 months. Not sure why time is flying, but it is and we are just holding on for the ride!
