when crops are good prices are down.  When I have just a few calves prices are near record highs.  It's a plot I tell you.  :-X

That is a great photo of the hill behind that field.  Looks like Whitetail heaven.

Thanks, Stan.......it USED to be Whitetail heaven, until EHD reared its ugly head! :'(

That is a beautiful valley.  What is the name, Aowa, as far as origin.  Sounds like the correct spelling of Iowa.  :-\

It probably is some kind of bastardization of the 'Iowa' Indian name, but I see it spelled 'Aoway', 'Ayowa' & 'Ayoway' on various old maps of the region, state and county.  It is now officially spelled 'Aowa' on all state & county maps.  Captain Meriwether Lewis referred to it as 'Rologe' Creek and Clark spelled it that same way on his map......one of the few times the two of them spelled ANYTHING the same way twice! :shrug: :rofl:

Thanks, JB.....I really do feel lucky to live here in this corner of the state.   The Fall colors are just beautiful this year and they're lasting a loooong time, too.   Lots of varied terrain, streams, small lakes and woodlands up here in the northeast part of the state, too.  All in all......it's not too bad. :shrug:

it sure as heck isn't.  It is extremely interesting country and very beautiful this time of year.  Your photo essay on this is impressive Wolfy, all the way from western Nebraska to the Missouri river.  You did a good job with it and, like MnSprt said, its a lot different that I expected.

Thank you, so much, Stan.....I really appreciate the compliment!   I'll continue to add to the thread when I get some shots that I think some of you would like to see.  Nebraska is a pretty diverse place when it comes to terrain and scenery.  Of course, I'm used to the northeastern portion because I've lived, farmed, hunted & fished here all of my life, but I love and appreciate the beauty, attractions, history & diversity of the rest of state, too.  The more regions and the more of its residents that I meet, the more I appreciate living here.  :thumbsup:

BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES

LAST DAY OF THE 2014 CORN HARVEST, THE FARM, DIXON COUNTY, NEBRASKA

November 13, 2014....the last day of harvest.  Clear and VERY cold harvest season, but we were extremely lucky that the first large snow 'event' of the season passed just north of us.....we recieved just a bit of icy sleet and a dusting of snow.  This is the last crop that I will be able to say that I planted, tended & brought to harvest. :'(   I am officially retiring from actively farming the ground that my granddad, dad, brother & I have been farming since just after WWI.  Time to relax and quit worrying so much about everything year after year!   It turned out to be a good year to go out on...the farm produced more corn & soybeans per acre this year than it has in any other year in its history! :banana:

That is a beautiful place.  I guess you will still live close or there and just wander around.  You will still worry about that stuff because it is in your blood.  More time to go to MOTFT and Robinson, and Custer battlefield, and Rosebud battle site, and Wagon box, and....... well all that stuff. 

You can keep this thread going by doing photos of the same place in different seasons.  I always wanted to do that but never get it done. 

Glad you can enjoy some time just wandering.  After the first year you will wonder how you had time to farm.   8)

What a positively great way to call it a career.  Knowing how a lot of small farmers have had it I am thrilled for you to leave on your own terms.

Congratulations on the start of a long and interesting retirement.

Wolfy, I was at the coffee shop in town this morning and there was an article in the Rapid City Journal about Beautiful Nebraska.  They had a website listed you could go to and see fifteen beautiful places in Nebraska.  I laughed out loud and said that Craig had beat them to it.  This has been an enjoyable thread and I do hope it continues.

THANK YOU ALL, SOOO MUCH for the compliments and well wishes......it's nice to hear those kinds of things from my friends here on our little forum!   It's kind of a funny feeling to be hanging up the grain scoop after this many years of taking care of the place.......I almost felt like I was shirking my duties by not hurrying to hook up to the chisel plow to start the fall tillage work in that nice Fall weather, but I resisted. :P   It's not my worry anymore!  :shrug:

If I find some more 'photo opps' or trip pictures from other out-of-the-way, interesting places or uniquely Nebraskan things that I think some of you would enjoy seeing, I will add to the thread occasionally.  Hopefully, I will have more time to explore some of them now.  Heather will retire from teaching at BCU this Spring, so that will mark the beginning of our REAL freedom from the tethers of scheduled responsibility..... .can't wait!

Waaalll.... I read the whole durned thing today. I gotta say that this is an epic thread!! And for a number of reasons too.

Pictures look like they're a brochure for heaven! Great shots, Wolfy! Lot of great info too. Man, lemme tell you, I enjoyed this! I too hope you carry it on! Epic! :hail: :thumbsup:

And this retirement thing -- not durned likely! Not by a loooong shot! If I got you figured, and I figure I do, you'll be out and about galavanting around your lovely home state! But I add my congrats and respect. Thanks for feeding a lot of hungry people! :hail: And I sincerely hope you don't miss your stubble jumpin' too much.

Wolfy, I wish more people were as happy where they are as you. We'd sure have a lot less wars and suchlike.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting those beautiful pictures wolfy, thanks for sharing with us some of the history and beauty of Nebraska.   Pretty country!   I?m glad to live in a rural area, I get to enjoy wild turkeys, white tail deer, and the occasional bear that that tries to steal my apple and peaches, or check out the garbage can.   Congratulations on your retirement.

Wow, I come to ck out your lastest Neb. photo shoot and find a retirement announcement.

 Well, congrats are in order for Craig and Heather, for taken care of our folks, feeding the mind and body, year after year. Here's wishing you both a successful, leisure, travel across this great country. Now you have time to come over to Tenn. and canoe some of the great water ways on your bucket list.
And hopefully you'll make it down Florida way as well. We will have a big throw down when you do.

Congratulations  Craig and Heather

Thank you for your service. and a well deserved retirement.  :cheers:

Glad to hear you had a great crop to go out on. Some very impressive equipment on the farm. I have always wanted to run one of those track farm tractors. I think they would be beneficial to the work we do on landfills. The clay can get slicker than pig snot and you just spin your tires and dig in.

Retirement Woo Hoo for Craig on this one . looking forward to some pics outside of Nebraska. Curious where the wind will blow Wolfy too?

Wrong topic , and, I dunno how my "now removed post, got here...
 :shrug:
I will return.


Back now...


  I don't have a lot to say , or add right now... Just "wingin' it"..... But, I think Nebraska is a fine state.  Really though....  to be honest... I think that it is only because Wolfy lives there, & it is his topic.

I love being out in the woods!   I like this quote from Mors Kochanski - "The more you know, the less you carry". I believe in the same creed, & think  "Knowledge & honed skills" are the best things to carry with ya when you're out in the wilds. They're the ultimate "ultralight" gear! ;)

Tonight, Heather & I watched the full length DVD from our local library, entitled GREAT PLAINS: AMERICA'S LINGERING WILD.....it was fantastic!   If you can find the Nebraska NET video somewhere, we're certain that you would enjoy it! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Here's a short video excerpt I found on YouTube:

Thanks for the warning, zams, but I don't think we're going to end up with much.  MAYBE .5" of rain if we're REALLY lucky.....we need it.  There are Fire Danger Warnings out for here.  It was 80* with 30+ mph winds and 12% humidity for our section of the state.....we're about 90 miles north of Omaha, so they are in the path of the big hail and big thunderstorms this time.

Right here, IT'S NOT TOO BAD! :banana:

Fires in South Dakota.  Harding county, north of where I live, has lost 8,000 acres.  There are also fires over by Camp Crook in Montana and up by Billings.  In Wyoming there is a fire near Buffalo.  Dry and windy.

I have family in around the Colby Kansas area, great bird hunting. Hate the summers, spent many hours driving grain to the elevators during wheat harvest. Hot dirty work but love the harvest dinners.

While I've had many a Fall dinners with fall harvest produce, I've never had a harvest dinner on a Farm, I think that would be cool to have the real deal one day... 8)
