As we continue to march towards harvest, farm activities have remained in full swing.  A portion of our dry fertilizer has been hauled and unloaded in our storage, and we have also kept mowing roadsides and bin/shed sites.  Harvest equipment has been pulled into the shop, and we are readying grain bins for use.  Current projects involve installing load cells to measure product weight on our dry fertilizer hopper and mounting the display screen for viewing.  Grant and Logan served as chairs for the Blue Mound Fall Festival’s Pork Chop Dinner for the 4th year, and much of the Noland family was present serving in the food line.  Just over 700 porkchops were served with green beans, cheesy pototoes and applesauce!  The weather was terrific and all had a great time.
