Hey guys,
Not much going on today, so Mom has me doing school work while she's up in Bismarck doing sessions, so here goes another post... :P I'll try not to bore you all to death... :P
Anyway, Cora and Andrew left on Friday to go visit some friends and help them out with their corn maze! They should be coming home sometime today, so lets hope the roads are good for them. :)
It's raining outside again, we've gotten pretty wet here over the past week, which is being a real problem with people wanting to harvest, but I guess I'd rather have rain for next year then no moisture...
So yeah, we've pretty much been waiting for it to dry down and it decided it didn't want to dry down... -_- Anyway, I'll probably be writing more here in the near future, so I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B. :)

It's wet!
Hey guys,
So it's been a while sense I've written you all again, I've been keeping busy in the shop and a little bit of school work with a good bit of goofing off mixed in as well... :P I do think mom wants me to get to school soon though so we might as well get this last year over with...
Two Friday's ago, Mom, Andrew and I went down to Rapid City to attend a class and a expo. We all had a good time and even went to see Mount Rushmore one night, and stopped into Wall Drug on the way home! :)
Other then that, it's been pretty much just waiting for the corn to dry down enough to harvest, we we're thinking we could get going this week sometime but then it rained over the weekend so the harvest has been pushed back some...
On another note, I may be looking into buying a classic car. I'm not sure what I want to do about that yet, but I'll let you all know when I know... :P Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B! :)

Long Time No Write. Again.
Hey guys,
So I haven't written anything in quite a while as I've been very busy, along with everyone else in our family, and I don't really like to write, but Mom's starting to think about school, so yeah, here starts the last year of that fun... lol
Anyway, over the past summer, us guys spent a lot of time going through the 9600 combine we bought last winter at an auction sale, we bought a backhoe attachment at an auction sale and are currently working on some of the hydraulics on that and are going to fit it on a 9030 when it's done.
I finished fixing up my snowmobile earlier this spring, (put the pistons in the wrong way the first time, *ultimate facepalm*) and now it runs great! Due to no rain since July (we just finally got some this week) our corn crop has really suffered this year, but it's still hanging in there...
The alfalfa crop never came back for it's 2nd cutting, because of no rain again, so another tough hay year. :/ And that's pretty been my year in a nutshell, could say a lot more but don't feel like it, so I'll say goodbye for now, Jacob B. :)

Spring update:)
Hey guys,
It's been a while sense I've written anything on here, and mom told me to do another post, so here goes... Seeding went well this year, put everything that wasn't hay into corn, and we got most of it in before the rains came so that was nice.
We've been trying to get our spraying done, but it keeps raining and blowing so that's been kind of tough. I got my sled back from the dealer the other day, and I have the engine all apart fixing that up again as well... :)
We hosted a Appleseed shoot last Friday and Saturday, had a pretty good turnout, even with the rainstorm at the end of the first day... I've been playing World of Tanks a good bit in my spare time as well... :)
And that's about all of the major news that I can think of right now, we've all been keeping busy and getting stuff done... :P Anyway, talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Another new delivery! :D
Hey guys,
Yesterday, mom and I had to deal with a new calf that was born in the mud, so we washed him off and fed him some milk and he's doing better now and is out in the pasture. :) Their talking warmer weather so hopefully the calves will be doing better soon! :)
Also yesterday, our new (used) corn planter got delivered to the farm! I was the only guy home at the time so I had the fun of getting the tractor ready for it and all that good stuff, lol. Let's hope it works good in the days to come.
The guys have been grain cleaning, but Andrew's not feeling very well this morning so he's asleep in bed... :( The snow's been melting off ever so slowly and now we've got mud pits in the yard... >.<
Kind of running out of things to write about, ( as normal) so I'll post a picture and call it good for now :) Anyway, talk to you all later, Jacob B.

New arival on the farm.
Hey guys,
It's been a while sence I've wrote you all, and over that time we've had a blizzard, cold weather, new calves... Yeah, more of the same... This last weekend has been kinda crazy, mom was in town for a convention on Thursday and Friday.
Then Andrew left for a 1 day Appleseed shoot at Minot on Saturday, and Cora was at a get together for girls up in the turtle mountains someplace from Friday and she's getting home tonight...
On Saturday a big yellow and black Rogater 854 sprayer arrived on our farm, and us guys have been working on that the past few days, mounting our GPS and trying to get it ready for spring application time.
We're also expecting our new (used) corn planter to show up this week sometime, so if it ever warms up and melts the snow off here we'll be getting ready to hit the fields! :) Well, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.

Snow? Really?
Hey guys,
So today we're actually getting snow on the ground! Hopefully it wont last long as we're right in the middle of calving now. :/ Anyway, other then that, it's just normal spring here, grain cleaning, calving, and mud...
Today, Dad was out cleaning grain but is on his way home now, Mom's taking a nap, Andrew's fixing a truck for somebody, Cora's babysitting, and I'm working on my school and playing World of Tanks on and off... :P
It just stopped snowing for now but it looks like we might get a little bit more later. It should be pretty light though. Dad just got home as well. If you haven't guessed by now I'm kind of running out of things to talk about...
I'm loving my new graphics card, playing Agrar Simulator 2012 at max quality preset and getting 30 FPS... :) It does everything I want it to, so I'm happy... Anyway, I'll talk to you all later, Jacob B.
