farming is still deadly. my tractor fix it guy's dad rolled his tractor over and was killed a few years ago. and i had an aquaintance seasoned farmer did the old, poke your hand into the corn picker and was pulled in and killed.
i can't believe August is almost over.
seems like I haven't done anything constructive.
didn't spend even one day in the wood shop. all winter i had so many plans. the plans are still there

For all of you that we're gonna buy meat chickens this spring. How many did you get? And how did it go?
I think I might try it next spring

we don't buy meat chickens any more.
when we did, we ordered 200 for a family of 5. would give my brother many for helping butcher.
when it dwindled down to just the 2 of us we ordered 50.
i am thinking of selling the chicken plucker. haven't used it for a few years.

We butchered some large and bantam Buckeyes on Wednesday. Now three of the bantams are in the crock pot
