Sold!

Today we sold our soybeans at over $9.00 a bushel! Last year they were going for about $5.50 a bushel. I was worried because we committed to alternating crops in that field each year between corn and soybeans. Our farmer asked us if we were still on track to switch back to beans, and we said we were, even though last year we got such a good price on corn and prices continued to rise on corn. We noticed that just about everyone planted corn this year, we thought our bean field looked a little loney, but we were hoping that it would pay off because everyone and their brother were planting corn. Sure enough, it did! This year corn is much lower, right now it's going for $3.25 a bushel.

For once we did it right! Mamma needs a new pair of shoes!

Well, really, the goats need a new scale and a heat lamp.
