“My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman and a preacher but everyday, three times a day, you need a farmer.”

– Brenda Schoepp

The dogs are barking again. They’re not used to this much traffic past our house each day..

The gravel roads of South Dakota are rumbling day and night right now under the heavy weight of combines, tractors, grain carts and semis.. whatever is takes to get the harvest done.

It’s beautiful. It’s dusty and right now it’s constant. After looking at and being surrounded by what seems to be 9 -10 foot high corn the past couple months, harvest will drastically change the view out our front door when all is said and done.

Wishing those out in the fields, a safe and wonderful harvest. This has been a dry summer but it appears a good one.
