@panotiller @Cetter15 I’m doing my part too. Feeding it all!

@panotiller It’s quicker to drop it in file folders. Beats a shoe box!

@4FAngusBoy Beautiful animals! Keeping customers happy is what it’s all about. One thing - those aren’t heifers in the pictures.😜

@TroyHadrick I’m a Phillies fan, but I feel for ya. It’s kinda like when we get a good rain shower in the summer, somewhere else they’re burning up.

@EthanMidkiff Good for you, not a drop here

They bought a 1,200-1,400 sf house with 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, 1 car detached garage & maybe a half-finished basement. They had no a/c, 1 landline, 1 tv w/3 or 4 channels. Their car had drum brakes, leaf springs, bias-ply tires, an AM radio and maybe power steering.

They went out to eat maybe once a month, and that was getting Micky D’s to go and sitting at the picnic table outside. Going to the movies was a special treat. Vacations usually involved tents or pop-top campers at campgrounds near regional amusement parks. Flying all over? Are you kidding? That was for the Jet Set, not the middle class.

Kids 3 & 4 wore clothes that 1 & 2 outgrew. Their big presents were maybe a baseball mitt or a bike every 4 or so years. Ordering stuff from Amazon or E-Bay? Let me introduce you to the Christmas Catalogue and Lay-A-Way.

They didn’t have broadband, cable, WiFi, laptops & tablets & smartphones for each member of the family. They didn’t spend money on Netflix, Spotify, Disney+, Prime, Steam or any of the other 57 streaming services you and I spend money on. They brown-bagged lunch every day, not ordering Uber-Eats, & they took a thermos of coffee with them instead of dropping $10-15 a day at Starbucks on the way in to work.

That’s how they could afford the stuff you can’t.

@panotiller Is the 4th of July too late to plant some for silage?

@BrianBheher We kicked our cows and calves off welfare this morning.

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@panotiller Long time you say, like maybe 13 years?

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@coleman_peanut Nice blocky bull calf there!

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@Mitch_Rupert Trying to figure out why they pulled him under 70 pitches. Because it’s cool and they don’t wanna risk injury?

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@sellis_1994 You’ve inspired me. I might go plant some a little later on today.

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@sellis_1994 They’re the best!

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@MontgAthletics @piaad4sports @JonGerardi @PAPowerWrestle Congratulations to all!

[Pappy @UlrichFarm]

@TroyHadrick They sure are marbled!

It’s not everyday we get to see a whole farm pattern tile install in North central PA. My principal sent me with a small group of kids that plan farm or run equipment out for a couple periods and see this yesterday. Even got a drone tour of the project! #FFA

It’s beginning to feel a little like spring here this morning.
