Grandpa's Furrows


 Steve grew up watching his dad (and sometimes helping) farm. The boys watched Grandpa and Jon has helped Larry with farming. This weekend, Steve and Jon tentatively walked in Rod's footsteps as they seeded a piece of ground in beardless barley. (yes, the bearded ones planted something beardless--there is a whole section on beardless barley by OSU, so I understand why it exists. It still makes the mom laugh) Jon took a few stills and one of Susie, who was after a rodent.

The best part was taken by Jeremy, with his cell phone. I wanted to add the super cute adorable tractor Jeremy picked up Easter weekend, but it is on his youtube page. This story, today, is about Grandpa's old red Farmall getting back to work on a beautiful day with a blue sky and good soil. 
Rod is up there smiling down on his son and grandson, probably grumbling a bit because it wasn't done quite right, and laughing over hearing his tractor again.
