Well... Another year of farming is almost up. To some people, it may have been a good year, and as well it should be. But if you’re a farmer from Central Illinois, that’s defiantly not the case. I am one of those farmers from Central Illinois, and I can say that this year was defiantly not a good one. Although we did start our earliest in 3 years, we still had some time to wait for crops to mature and the occasional standing water. But of course, it’s a farmers luck to have something malfunction, wear or the ever so often; break. I hope farmers in the surrounding areas had a better harvest than we did. I am really hoping next year will be a better year in both crop yields and also weather wise. I do have to admit though; this year’s weather was a lot better than last years. It seemed to me that every time I would look out in my field, I would see nothing but standing water. Once again I hope the seed and fertilizer prices would decrease a bit more than what it is now. But any farmer knows that that will never happen unless it’s a miracle.
I have absolutely no idea about farming! However, I hear a lot of talk from the older farm men at work. Reading this blog sounded exactly like I was standing there pouring them coffee and just smiling as if I knew what they were saying. This is all they have been talking about every since harvesting season began this year.
