    Seeing the Big Bud's hooked up to the planters just makes me smile. Praying for rain for the rest of the summer. We're already in water conservation mode 3 hours north of you. Take care and God bless!

      I was hearing peeps talkin EL NINIO a couple months ago... so we will see... this winter was weird... not normal weather these last 2 years.... poles must be shifting or the North & south poles are overloaded by strippingpolarbears or something!!! LOL HAHAHAHAHa
      I AM ACTUALLY PRAYING FOR EVERYONE THAT HARVESTS SOMETHING THAT HELPS OTHERS AND THEMSELVES TO HAVE A BOUNTYFUL HARVEST AND GOOD GROWING SEASON LEEDING UPTO THE HARVEST, and may all their PRODUCT MAKE IT TO MARKET !!! (don't dilly dally tho, cuz sittin PRODUCT had chance of mold and other ikkys... I think there gunna be a bad vomatoxin this year and ummm BIN ROT or wtuever they call it... unless you have proper monitoring in your storage bins... ;) ....) and white mold gunna be an issue the more and more def gets used... it and TARSPOT gunna be linked to BLU DEMON JUICE (DEF) sooner or later.... ;) sigh...

    I watch your weather pretty closely. I do care about you folks. You guys need more rain. I regularly look at the USGS drought monitor for your area and mine. Right now we're both in Abnormally Dry conditions. It's been worse but God willing, it will get better this year.

    Bearings are cheap, downtime during planting is expensive.
    Always replace all the bearings on a shaft. "I'll do that next year" will get forgotten about.

    It may be worth your while putting a bunch of small fresh cut Cedar choggs in your truck cabs etc over winter, rodents don’t like the smell (apparently) it’s an old classic car storage trick I was taught years ago. Proper Atlas or Lebanon cedar mind, not Red cedar. 🐭

      It is so refreshing to read about a parts man who wants to fully understand what they are selling far beyond just the part number. I had a young parts man tell me that front wheel drive cars don't have front wheel bearings, even after I told him I was looking at one in my hand. Best of luck I hope you go far!

    Busy busy time getting ready to seed.
    Thanks to Bob for showing us how to clean the seeding tubes for the seeders. That was some fine work and very detailed. You got the touch Bob. Got them ready to go to put seed in the ground. Now you need the moisture. I watch the weather for your area. Prayers for your area for rain and more moisture!!!!!!!! God bless!!!!!!!
    Good work unloading the bags of lentils into the storage area. Ready to go when you are ready. Go go go.
    Busy time. Important time getting seed in the ground.
    Have at it Welkers.
    Prayers for rain.
    God bless.
