[AT] Interesting farm sale

[Cecil Bearden]

It is really dry here, the prairie grass probably should have been cut 3 
weeks ago, but my swather crimper broke.  I was waiting for the grass to 
green up, but we did not have enough rain to do it.  Now it is 3 feet tall 
and looking like it does in October.  We had a wildfire about 10 miles away 
to the NE in the blackjack and cedar country.  Now they are predicting rain 
2-3 inches starting tomorrow as the remnants of that hurricane come this 
way.  I have 2 pond projects that we just built and really do not want them 
to fill that quickly, but that is what happened last year.  I still have to 
get the wheat seed in the ground, but if I do it today, that heavy rain if 
it happens will probably wash it out of the ground.  The last time we had a 
hurricane through here, it dropped 9 inches....

Farming is very much like one of Yogi Berra's quotes.  If you come to a fork 
in the road take it!!!!!!  The farming road has so many forks, you never 
know where you started from...
