Here are some photos from our growing season on the farm this year. We probably had one of our best seasons this year, in almost 40 years of farming between me and my folks. While most of the state was too wet, we were in a dry pocket, and the rains generally came when we needed them.
I had Federal jury duty the first week of June. Our district is the largest, geographically, in Minnesota. My commute was a short one at 180 miles round trip. Some folks on the Canadian border had a 5 hour, drive one way. During the trial, my wife, son, and parents did chores for me.
We raised about 200 chickens on pasture this season. Down dramatically from years prior, as we focus more on growing our sheep and vegetable businesses. Here I am bringing water and feed on the 961D.
A TW-35 we admired at a local sale. My wife and five year old son.

The first load of hay brought to the barn. Our neighbor does our baling using green tractors. As of yet we don't have the haying equipment.
Our flock of Border Cheviot ewes.
Getting ready to move a feeder on a wet October day.
Late fall chores
