Now that all the weeds are knocked down, hopefully for the season, I can go and have a few days off once in a while. There has to be a payoff for all the 14 and 16 hour days in the spring and fall and today is one of them.

I’m playing in the Farmers’ Rice Cooperative annual golf tournament with three of my good friends. It is nice to be able to take some time away from the farm and worrying about the lateness of this year’s crop.
