Thank you.
I told my son,today that i missed the most important part of that cattle guard. Most people have no idea what it is, and i should had stopped on it as i drove over and shot a photo.
I saw the cattle off in the field and there was no fencing on that side of the road and the guard was only 100 ft at the most off the main highway.
That farmer must place a lot of faith in that guard.

Not to worry! Cows can't jump.:) I used them here in Ohio so I didn't have to keep getting off the tractor at feeding time.:) I had Black Angus.

i bet you miss that part of your life..
It has to be extremely hard on a family that has farmed for all of their lives,to have to give it one day. Its a whole different way of life.

The neighbor next door let me use his land. Was nice being so close. When I farmed grain,it was 15 miles from the house. The neighbor sold the farm, so now we have houses going up on it.:( I got out of grain farming because it was not paying the bills.:( I could not get more land to farm close to the farm I was leasing. And the bigger newer tractors were to costly too. Do I miss it? Yes, I loved it! Would I go back to it? No. To old and to many changes. Not like the old days any more.:(

i do understand all that you've said. tractors are out of site price wise . To think of all that is needed just to grow and harvest..
Still it was a good way of life and many did it.
now the government pays the farmers to let their land set idle, meanwhile the price of foods and grains go up because its a supply and demand. Empty fields don't feed the hungry that's for sure.

I liked the silhouette sign the most of your shots.


Thank you- that one is also my favorite. It draws me closer to my maker.


I've got a photo of a similar silhouette; in this case the sadness comes from the raging wildfire visible in the mountains a few miles beyond: 300,000 acres of wilderness and National Forest gobbled up. That's 465 square miles. A lot of homeless animals. I'm sorry but I don't think this drought will be over next year.
