Here’s a money-saving tip for you:
Every year, my Kubota dealership runs a winter special to keep their crew busy during the slow season. Normally, it costs about $150 for them to pick up my tractor and another $150 to bring it back after service.
But during their winter special, pickup and delivery are free, and they offer a discount on full maintenance.
I take advantage of it every year to keep all my equipment in good shape. I usually start calling around November 1st to find out when their special begins so I can get my tractor serviced and back before heavy hay-feeding starts.
If I get in early, they usually have my tractor back in 4–5 days.
They picked it up today, and I’ll have it back by early next week—ready to go.
If your dealership services your equipment, it might be worth calling to see if they offer a winter special too. It can save you a good bit of money

Today I did one of my most favorite things in the garden: I dug sweet potatoes.
For me, it’s always exciting to see what treasures will come up, what weird shapes they can grow into, and how big they can get. Today, I wasn’t disappointed at all.
I only planted six plants this year. Maybe only three next year!
I’ll let them sit out for a day like this to let the dirt dry. That way, I can brush them off before storing them.
The thing about sweet potatoes is this: you can’t enjoy them right after digging. You need to let them sit for at least 30 days so the starches can start breaking down into sugars. That way, when you eat them, they’ll be sweet.
With the really big ones, you can cut off a piece, and the remaining portion will seal itself. That way, you can go back and cut off another piece later. Just keep the cut piece in the refrigerator.
When properly cured and stored, sweet potatoes will last a long time.
I sure hope my church family likes sweet potatoes!

What is wrong with people?
Seeing trash in my pasture by the road, is always aggravating.

Dozens of cows (maybe 100) mooooved into Boise just after 1am last night coming quickly through the intersection at Bogus Basin and Cartwright Road and on their way downtown. Cows were spotted all over including at 18th and Sherman, 18th and Eastman, 15th and Harrison and on Dewey. Officers and dispatch worked quickly to track down the owner and corral all the cows. Eventually, many of the cows ended up in an alley between 18th and 19th near Hill Road. The owner of the cows also came to the rescue with a trailer and hauled them back home by around 5am.

American cattle ranchers are calling on the Trump administration to abandon plans to buy Argentine beef.

President Trump has been arguing to buy beef from the South American country as an effort to lower beef prices at U.S. grocery stores, while U.S. cattle ranchers are criticizing his plan as misguided and harmful.

"The National Cattlemen's Beef Association and its members cannot stand behind the President while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef in an attempt to influence prices," NCBA CEO Colin Woodall said in a statement.
