Fall 2010

So now that it is officially fall, according to the calendar, life is hopping here at Myers Farms. Since I last wrote...we have attended multiple meetings and corn days, changed doors on the house, helped a friend move items to Florida, attended birthday celebrations, had tea with 3 generations of cousins, hung out at a Hospital, pregnancy checked cows and started combining. We are combining just beans at this point with a little over 800 acres harvested at this time.

The kids are busy too. Erik is, as we like to call him, the Combine King! He is the main person driving the combine this year. He has harvested all but maybe 100 acres. That was because he had to work two auctions...and he sold some at one of them!! He is loving his hours working in the field along side his Dad.

Katie is super busy with life as a Jr. She has 6 classes she is working on this year in addition to going 4 days a week to the BACC. Church choir has started up and she is putting time in at the local republican office making calls for the upcoming election. On top of that she is now doing chores at G & G Geese's house to help out and is loving it. She even makes time to hang out with friends. Life is good!

So I'm off for a walk. Today, take the time to look around and see all that He has done in your life. Remember the people too He has put in your life, know they are there for a reason!

School begins...

Hi all...this is the first official day of school. It is a strange day with only Katie doing work and Erik just working with Doug on the farm. Katie is officially a Jr. this year. She will be attending her co-op classes in Jackson every Wednesday like usual. This year she will also be attending the Branch Area Career Center (BACC) every M,T,Th, & F. A change for sure. I know she is excited, but also a little nervous about this new adventure.

The next week will bring field days, golf outing and business meeting with all the seed companies wanting to push their product for next year.

I have a few more items I'd like to add to my freezer before the growing season is over...this should not be a problem.

Well have a good day all...be blessed!~
