    Is this a sign

    Hedge trees. They were planted here for wind breaks and boundary fences before wire fence. Now, wire fences are tied to hedge posts. You can drive a staple into the post when it's green but once it's cured it can't be done. http://dyckarboretum.org/osage-orange-a ... ing-fence/

    Organizing receipts for taxes

    Yeah. I know. It's a reality check when it's on paper in front of you and you're supposed to sign and return.

    Organizing receipts for taxes

    I have used Quicken for years. It categorizes everything. I print my schedules off and take to my accountant. I've used the same accountant for many years. Recently, he sent a letter to all his clients that seemed a little troubling. It said he would continue to do individual taxes but wasn't...

    Deluxe Checks

    I've gotta tell you what happened to me right before Christmas. I had an email notification from Deluxe Checks that my check order would be delivered Dec. 26 to Laredo,Tx. DHL was the courier and a tracking number was provided. I pretty much freaked out. I hadn't ordered checks and I sure...

    Unreliable

    alisonb-musta been something in the alignment of the stars yesterday--got a call from family that they were 'thinking' about stopping by. No definite plans, no organization, just a fleeting thought to fill idle time. Sure-why not? They don't have cattle to feed nor ice to break on water tanks...

    Tax Bill

    The House-Senate tax bill will provide near-term benefits to many ag producers, but rate reductions and estate tax changes beneficial to ag are temporary, according to national ag accounting and business advisory firm K·Coe Isom. “The core of this bill is a 21% flat rate for C corporations,”...

    Being honest about Thanksgiving

    This will be a wonderful Thanksgiving. For the first time in years, there is harmony. A new-daughter in law that everyone likes and is easy to be around. My sons can finally be together as brothers. The grandkids can all play together. We don't have to watch what we say or do for fear of...

    Coyotes

    I have a fall calving herd. A few years ago I couldn't tag calves because the cows were so aggressive towards me. They had never been that way in previous years. Someone suggested I put a donkey with them. I put a mammoth female donkey with them and haven't had any problems since. This group of...

    Me & Harvey..in retrospect

    Very happy you and your wife are okay. It's a reality check when nature turns against us. All of us make a living from the land, one way or another, and to have Mother Nature hurt us to this degree is so hard. GB, don't beat yourself up on the would'a, could'a, should'a stuff. It's done. Look...

    Crazy Insurance deal

    The new agent said State Farm went to "Schedules" years ago but the old agent didn't inform his customers of the change. Lots of people in the area thought they had coverage and found out the expensive way they didn't. You're right, BrightRaven, Policy has to be very specific. I wanted to buy a...

    Crazy Insurance deal

    I've been a State Farm customer forever. 10 years ago a neighbor caused a fire on a day we had 60mph winds. I lost all my winter hay supply. In a false sense of security I didn't panic because I had insurance-wrong-I did not because according to my State Farm agent, I didn't have "Hay in the...

    Welcome Tropical Storm Harvey

    Sunday night Drudge Report said "9 Trillion tons" of water had fallen on the area up to that point in time. From someone who has been through a flood and several fires, you have all my sympathy. The clean up is beyond anything I can imagine.

    Funeral Customs

    Ex-mother in law passed away a year or so ago in East Tennessee. Viewing & family visitation was night before funeral. Funeral-day two. Burial-day three. whew. Seemed a bit much but it wasn't for me to say. Around here, funerals are going one of two ways. Minimal-cremation with no service and a...

    Spinal Stenosis

    Wow. To be honest, I have no idea what any doctor charges. I raise cattle and do my best to stay away from cities, people, doctors, hospitals, shopping malls, parking lots, car dealers, airports.......feel free to add to that list!
