 Hi.   It's been a long time since I posted anything.  

Lets see; 2020 was probably the best, most profitable farm year I've ever had.  Which is odd to say because of a global pandemic, but it was true.  

So I paid off debts and invested in some new equipment, and put myself into CDL school so I could get licensed to drive a semi truck, and i purchased a semi truck, mostly to haul huge quantities of stuff for my farm.  

I've been pretty conservative in 2021 - I don't know what is going on with our economy - I confess, I just don't understand it, and when the stock market is hitting record highs, and housing is at record levels, and the price of everything seems to be going up and we've still got a global pandemic that doesn't seem to be getting better...  I just can't figure it out.  

So for 2021 I've been sticking pretty close to home.  Building fences and outbuildings, working on my roads and access points.  I purchased a new sawmill, which I'll write a bit about, mostly because I was horrified by lumber prices, and doubly horrified by log prices, so I'm not buying lumber, and I'm not selling logs, I'll go the middle route and sell my logs as lumber.  

I've seriously considered some sort of vlog, and may take a stab at it soon.  

I hope that you and yours are safe and well, and that you are making progress on your goals, dreams and desires.
