Harvest is going quicker than usual so far with terrible yields due to the drought. However we are still getting some grain and we still need to cut as we need to plant in the next few months to have another try.
Running around after my three boys and my big boy (Benny), lol. But, add to that an extra seven mouths to feed and to worry and to care for.
I am so blessed this year we have Ben’s mum and dad down to help us out with our Harvest. Thank goodness for grandparents!
Here in NSW Australia we are in one of our worst droughts so our growing season was horrendous. Going over to WA to our other farms where they are having a great year (HarvestHer Aleix Lampp)!
Still, the show must go on. We still need to push on and harvest the minimal grain we do have.
We all are excited for end of year break, that’s for sure!
