Well, spud harvest is finally coming to an end! Its been quite the year. I can honestly say this year it has seemed to fly by! It has been a little difficult at times. I really miss being in the fields and working in the potatoes. It is SO different having two kids now. I can't just throw a few things together and jump on the tractor for the afternoon. We spend more time getting ready to go than we do actually riding with Ron. Not only have I had to worry about the kids, but we've been able to invest in our own fields this year. It has made me a nervous wreck! I try not to ask Ron whats going on because I don't want to know anything until its OVER-and I don't want him to know how worried I really I am! Our biggest concern has been the weather. For a few days it got so cold I was sure they were going to freeze in the ground! We've had a few other "minor" issues to deal with, but I guess I'm going to have to learn how to cope with the ups and downs of farming if we're ever going to go completly on our own someday.
We actually had an Amazing yield! I have never seen so many potatoes this size! You know they are too big when Larry asks Ron why he's growing freakin' WATERMELONS in their spud field!
