Drilling Grain...

Once a field is cleared of a crop, such as corn or beans, we begin drilling cover crops. The cover crops will either be harvested next Spring for grain and straw or put back into the soil to nourish it. Young son, Dominic, was so excited at his first opportunity to drill grain. So, Farmer Dean headed out with Dominic after lunch and they drilled this pinto bean field. Such a hard working father and son! The air was cool this morning, I headed out to harvest some squash for a customer and caught the corn crew busily loading sweet corn they had harvested for the Los Ranchos market. They too work so hard all season!
