Long time between posts...I know!  But trying to figure this "blogging thing" out is harder than I thought!!  =)
Just in case anyone reading this wants to know about the farming side of my life...


Hi, I'm Jeanie from central Kansas. I was raised on a dairy farm in NE Oklahoma. My husband and I now farm what was formerly his grandparents' farm. We produce beef cattle, soybeans, milo(grain sorghum), corn, wheat, occasional sunflowers, hay, and our children (we have 4--age 18 to 3), on our small family farm in central Kansas. I help by doing our farm accounting, billing for our custom farming business, meals, and when needed for any other farm job!

I recently joined an online farm wives support group, and thought I should start adding a bit of what we do on my blog.

So, currently, hubby is preparing equipment to start planting spring crops.  Corn will be planted in a month or so, depending on soil temperatures.  Our recent weather has been extremely mild, so we will see what March holds for us!   Seed is ordered.  We only have a few cows that will soon finish calving (giving birth to calves).  Last Tuesday's storms and rain greened up the winter wheat.  The combine is nearly ready for wheat harvest in mid-June.

I am just finishing up 2011 accounting for the farm.  And I hope to deliver our bookwork to the accountant in the next couple of days.  Tomorrow, I get to hold the second project meeting of our 4 H club's beginning sewing project!!  I am far from a good seamstress, but teaching young kids basic sewing techniques and to not be afraid of creating something themselves is very rewarding.  I'm looking forward to working with the three girls who are signed up this year!  This afternoon I enjoyed relaxing with our 2 youngest while playing Go Fish and Old Maid on our king-sized bed.  The girls LOVE camping out on there!

That is life-as I know it...today!
