Catcher In the Rye



The steers have always loved grazing right up against the rye field (a forbidden zone for them).




The rye field is gone now. It was ready for harvest. No more grazing in its borders for green stuff for my little steers.

Now that it is gone, peanuts will be taking its place.

As I write this, I hear the tractors droning on in the darkness. Plowing the rye stalks under and readying the ground at night, helps preserve the moisture that the sun would take.

Here's hoping Rye seed is selling well on the global market...

and one last look at the shimmering field of gold with fittingly enough, a double rainbow hovering above.

  2. Its so nice to see your cows getting to eat the green grass. Glad you are getting rain there now. The rainbow pic is so great. Wasn't that a thrill to catch it?
