Chris’ stepmom, known here as Grandma Mary, came to visit from Fort Collins, Colorado, and helped us slog through the mud picking broccoli and beets. Chris takes her back to the Rochester airport on the way to deliveries on Friday morning.

We took delivery on a new Kubota tractor on Monday, but we haven’t had a chance to use it yet because the weather has been so awful. We traded two gas tractors that worked intermittently (plus a bunch of cash) for this new diesel, which is a little bigger than our other tractor. We set it up with skinny tires to make it more versatile in our narrow rows, and we are looking forward to using it for our fall field work.
