Harvesting Flax

We are busy harvesting flax here on our farm. Thankfully, we are almost done!!! We will then only have soybeans and sunflowers left to harvest. This fall sure is moving along quickly.


Combining flax.

  7. We'll be done with harvest by the weekend (God willing!). Should finished corn tomorrow. 10 more acres of beans that were green when he finished the rest of them.

    I'd like to have some nice warmish Fall days with my Farmer to help me around the place.

  14. Funny, I thought you lived in Washington State, except I don't think they grow those things there lol. So...do you spin the flax? Inquiring minds want to know! Karen

  17. I love meeting other farm wives! I can't believe how different farming is where you are. The East Coast has smaller farms. We'd have to buy adjacent farms just to park that big old combine of yours!lol I'm going over to follow as soon as I finish this comment. Please come follow me so us farm gals can stick together.
    BTW- That flax is beautiful. I'm a sucker for blue flowers!

    Have a super weekend!
