A lesson in perspective
I finally finished harvest in the mud yesterday, December 19th. A patch farm full of tough cutting 15 bushel soybeans, deer antlers, and tree limbs. It’s slated to go to solar panels, and will never be farmed again. It appears they have already began taking out tree lines and making way for construction.
In one of these tree lines was an old family graveyard. A husband, wife, and their two infant children are buried there. Amanda was born in Virginia in 1831 and moved to the middle of nowhere Missouri with her husband George. George Law fought in the civil war, lost two infants and his own wife, then died himself all before turning 46.
Suddenly finishing harvest in a warm combine cab, hauling the grain to a bonded grain buyer right down interstate, while listening to some Dave Ramsey podcast wasn’t such a terrible thing. Even if it is a week from Christmas, and the neighbors have been done for a month or more.
I wonder if George made a living on this same ground I do now. If so, I can only guess it was the stress of farming Callaway county clay that got him.
