This was the scene out my window last weekend. Â The guys were scrambling to fill the planter with corn and finish up the last bit of spring planting. Â Typically they have a seed tender that fills the boxes with seed but they were down to the last bit and only seed corn bags would do.
They have been so busy this week. Â Hubby has been going out and feeding cattle 5 am and coming into the house just after 10 pm each night all week trying and trying to finish up. Â This afternoon they finished in time for us to go to a couple graduation parties. Â We felt bad as we didn’t stay long. Â He was just so exhausted, and to be honest, I wanted him to myself.
The work isn’t over, but at least now, the crop is in.
Awesome picture!! We just got all of our crops out too, about a week ago. Corn was done a couple of weeks ago and it just took a few days to get the soybeans in. We have cattle too so I had that tired hubby thing going as well. Those silos look familiar-we have a harvestore in our barnyard too.
It is so interesting seeing photos of other people’s homes and land. Your farm buildings appears huge compared to UK farms. I hope hubby gets some fun time soon.
I’m sure your hubby is exhausted. Here on our little farm we cut hay several times a year and it is always so tiring. We will get our first cutting in a few weeks. We are hoping for 3-4 cuttings this year. I do love farm life but it is sooooo tiring at times.

Great shot! The hours are long, the work is hard, the life is good. We just finished a week of branding. Long hours like y’all. Still have another week to go. Thise 3:30 am wake up calls to start breakfast are tough. Praying that y’all have a really good year.
‘Tis a beautiful sight! Our corn was finished up Friday – soys yet to go in. We’re some of the later planters in our area – my hubby is a seed dealer too so lives a life of interruption – plant a little, deliver seed, plant a little more. Loooooonnnnggg days. Rewarding work – definitely is a lifestyle demanding a full commitment.
