I'll be looking at several John Deere tractors this weekend as I plan to buy one before the end of the year. There are much newer models on the secondary market here but I think for the money I can get the best deal on something of this age and model. I'm interested in a tractor on the order...

I saw this photo here and was wondering why one would go to the trouble. Thanks in advance for the education.

And it wasn't pretty. Mosquito-borne virus that puts you on your back for 3-4 days. As my dad used to say, first I was afraid I was going to die, then I was afraid I wasn't. The powerful headache and fever were bad enough but the joint pain was almost unbearable. I swear, every bone in my...

I was thinking of planting about 30 acres of corn to go along with the grain sorghum I'm going to plant this year. I've ruled the corn out now and am actually wondering how well the grain sorghum will do. Man, it's dry. It's still summer and our 'winter' should have started back in late May...

Hope this message finds you all doing well. I've been busy. :D Hayguy asked for an update on my activities here, so, here goes. First off let me say that my camera crapped out long ago and I've been too busy to head to the city to buy another. I have taken some pics with my telephone but...

....in the US and Canada?

I drove to Punta de Mata today to buy a load of pig and chicken feed, pick up a driveshaft for my disc mower that I'd brought last week to a machine shop for repair, and accomplish a few other chores. Filled up a 55 gallon drum with 95 octane gasoline and also filled up the Ford Triton which...

:D I recently offered the last parcel of land I'd bought (about 110 acres) for sale and it looks like the neighbor is going to buy it. We did a handshake on it today. Yesterday he asked what my "best price" was and I told him he already had it. Also told him if I didn't get an offer soon...

Planted about 50 acres of grain sorghum between the 10th and 15th of August. The entire month of July and the first half of August had been really dry but accuweather called for good rainfall in late August and most of September. The crop looks good. I dressed it with urea and 10-20-20 when...

Does it look different to the naked eye than any other wheat? I ask because of information in the following article which recounts how the unapproved wheat was found growing on less than 1 percent of the farmer’s 125-acre (51-hectare) field in Oregon. What would prompt one to be suspicious of...

A guy shows up at the house the other night with 3 eggs from one of these birds. He'd heard I have an incubator and so figured I'd be happy to have the eggs. I wasn't, but what could I do at that point? They're now in the oven. Don't know how long the incubation is but I suspect it's more...

Yesterday about mid day I got a call from Pedro Briceno, a regular client of mine for "pacas" who needed bales for his horses. We were just finishing loading an 18 wheeler with 400 and I had about 20 nice green bales of bermuda left over and told him if he wanted them, I'd hold them till the...

I have questions. :D

Venezuelan Onza The tail appeared longer than the animal's body.

What's your busiest time of the year? I've always imagined it'd be in the summer when the days are long and you're trying to put up hay and the like. But honestly, having never ranched anywhere in the US, I don't really have a clue. Do you guys hole-up for the winter or is the workload much...

....at my ranch and the surrounding area. These photos aren't mine but will give you an idea of some of the wild birds I see on a regular basis. Oriole Blackbird Yellow-hooded blackbird Red-breasted blackbird Saffron Finch Scaled Dove Southern Lapwing Wattled Jacana Roadside...
