Normally we start harvesting wheat about the last week of July, and sometimes we are done wheat and onto barley by the first of August. But this year I think the wheat is a couple of weeks away yet. We might still be going in September at this rate! (Although that has never happened before..) Maybe September will be a nice “Indian Summer” and make up for our lack of summer.
We do have time to get a few little projects done, but mostly we are fretting over whether we should still be in the pig business. You can only lose money for so long and it gets very frustrating.
We are dealing with a new smoke house, so we can now do peameal bacon, and really good sausage, as well as cottage rolls and picnic roasts. So that sounds good! (Haven’t got any back yet to taste test, but if you want to be in on the tasting, let me know!!)
