Harvest 2019

Sept 25th we had the combine in the field ready to roll for harvest 2019.  Sept 26 was the first full day harvesting beans and had a smooth full week.  Jake ran the grain cart quite often. He has gotten comfortable and does well with it. Luke likes to be in the field riding with whoever he can every chance he gets.
October 1 was Mick's first day as he joined the Muench Ag team. We met Mick through Stonebridge church in Boone. He has four kids and plays guitar for the worship team. He plays an awesome electric guitar piece in an upbeat Amazing Grace song that amazed me. One Sunday I asked him if he would consider giving Luke guitar lessons. After two years of occasional lessons, he got to talking about his AgServe Fertilizer company  with Mark and soon a relationship grew. Mick is a Godly man, kind and generous. I am so excited to have such wonderful role models in the boys' lives. I know that on the farm, the boys will spend many hours with our employees and having good ones is so important. I have no doubt God brought Mick into our lives for a reason!
On October 18, we harvested a full week without weather delays.  It has been so wet that getting in the field has been a challenge. The bean yields were looking great, hitting into the 70's and overall average for all fields will be in the 60's. Mark was very happy with the good yields. He tried something new this year, in the spring he broadcasted his beans using one of his Salfords. His new technique paid off.
Fall harvest was late, long, and slow. Everything was wet and it made for a long season.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
