I'm a week and a half into school. It's crazy and I'm loving it. I'm taking two ag. classes this fall: Feeds and Feeding, and Anatomy and Physiology of Animals. So far I've had a great time in both. The weather has changed drastically in the past two weeks. Hardly any rain and it's cooled off a lot! It feels like we hit September and the weather decided it was time to change from summer to fall, right along with the start of school.
Today, however, I was extremely thankful for the cooler weather. My grandpa called me at 6:00 last night and asked me if I could come out and help cover corn silage piles. I've helped with this in the past, and usually it takes a lot to make sure that the Midwestern wind doesn't steal the giant tarps from us. Well, today there was just a slight breeze and the temperature was around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. A beautiful day if there ever was one.
For four hours we covered one pile. That's right, it took us four hours for ONE pile, and we didn't even get finished. I don't know the exact measurements we were working with, but one of the rolls of tarps we were using had 1000 feet of tarp on it. I'll get the exact measurements tomorrow. So anyway, it was a great day. I was covered in tire oil, grime, and lots of dust, I had silage in my shoes, and I have cuts from the wires in the tires, but I was on the farm again, doing hard work and loving it!!! God is so good!
