Nice that the unions in Michigan decided a strike in the middle of a pandemic and a supply chain mess would be good thing to do. My faith in human nature is skimming along the bottom and I don't see it coming back anytime soon!
I have about a 100 acres of wheat in the field, unfortunately it won't be ready until late May, early June. If things get bad before then I will have to harvest the local rabbits. I do have friends with hogs and cattle. It's good to have friends.
Amazon.com has them for $19 a BOX!!!!
My wife's ilostomy diet can only handle rice or corn Ray. Sorry or I'd be out to help you harvest!!! May come out anyway and throw some bales....wait !!!....ROLL some bales!

This is a rotation year so the field is in wheat, otherwise it would be in corn. Sorry! For rice, you would have to go up to the Brazos river valley where they have river irrigation. Otherwise there is rice on the Texas gulf coast (many of those fields on the coast were owned and farmed by Japanese immigrants until WWII).
I came from Iowa in the late 50's Ray and the town we grew up in was a agri town so crop rotation is nothing new to me! It is what good farmers do. Return nutrients back into the soil. Great work!!!
Brother Jim has come to our rescue with a few boxes of Rice Krispies comin our way.
Suzanne's surgery requires only rice, white flower or corn based foods due to her iliostomy.
Wish I was there to help you Ray! I think I was meant to be a farmer...just life got in the way.

Dan, we also got 4" this morning, headed out to my favorite place for sunrise but the clouds weren't that colorful. I may head out to Gettysburg this afternoon for some fun in cold and wind. I have some rice that I can bring you, if you can cook it. Just let me know.
I love your 'barn' photos Douglas. Many of ours are coming down these days due to so many people migrating to Central Texas.
A friend asked me to take some photos of what is left of this barn on their old family farm site. (Their grandfather built the barn.). The dirt you see at the lower part of the frame and toward the left is a new bypass/industrial road the city is constructing for increased "supply chain" traffic in their warehouse distribution district. They also had to cut part of the 100+ year old pecan tree for the power lines they had to move. Fortunately for this barn, a friend of the family petitioned the city to allow them to strip the barn wood to replace deteriorating siding on their old barn. The city gave them less than a month to finish. Their relative who is very old and did not want to fight the city got over $3 million for 150 acres. I guess my tax evaluation will be going up next year
Thanks Ray. With all the new housing developments going up, there are only 3 places within 15 minutes drive from where I live that have open view for sunrise, this barn is one of them. I have taken dozens of pictures of this barn at sunrise, people think I am crazy, but I love red barn in snow! The barn with the trees in your picture could make really pretty photos in good lighting. I read somewhere barns were bought for the lumber because now the limber price is so high. I wish I had 150 acres..
