Hurricane Irene

We are all well and safe as is the farm, though others not so far away are not so lucky. Many roads washed out or sections gone completely. I’m glad we’ve had the nice, sunny weather for the clean-up rather than some of the other possibilities. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the good thoughts. Jay and Janet

So glad to read that you are all well, what a relief. Electricity seems to be coming back faster than predicted, it has been good to hear from everyone and know that you are ok.

judging by the news and television, most of vermont is now in connecticut. very hard to watch and listen to. we hope you are all well, and slowly getting your worlds back in order.
we’d rather see rain here than wind, and of course, we got the wind. barely four inches of rain that got sucked up by the very dry land quickly. and the wind didn’t seem that bad. a few strong gusts. in the end we lost the weather vane. we had two acres spelt that withstood the wind, but after closer inspection, lost all its heads somewhere. so now we have two acres straw. and mother nature did a little wood chopping for us. she can put down alot of wood in a hurry, but she sucks when it comes to directional felling. probably five or six truckloads down out there. we got out of it pretty easy.
like jim o. i used tyo have to worry about a boat. glad those days are gone.
best wishes to all who suffered, great or small. the sun is back, and the wind is dry. your friend, mitch

As the government attempts to “help” farmers after 2 tropical weather events in our area, farmers are skeptical that much help will be had. Listen for the 3 great lies, Larry is not afraid to tell the truth to one local news channel, he is our Soil and Crop Adviser and a good guy.
