Had a thunderstorm go through last night. Chased the landlord and his combine out of the back field. About 20 minutes south of me got hail and it sounds bad.

Poor barstewards who got through the stressful storm season and are anxiously waiting to finally start harvest just to be wiped out by a rogue September storm.

I honestly don't know how you all understand what anything costs at auctions, coz all I ever hear from the auctioneer is a lot of fast jibberish.

I'd probably end up buying a three legged donkey at an auction ?
