@TRFyeomanfarmer The word on the street is, it’s coming out in August.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

@courtneydbq I didn’t see it.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

This may be my last 5:30 am wake up call on Christmas morning. I’m not sure how to feel about that. I keep telling my wife that I’m glad the boys are growing up but secretly inside I’m realizing that someday soon they will be on their own. I will enjoy every minute I have left.

@hort4cy That’s a nice picture. There’s no way I was going to stay up that late.

What God has started he and he alone will complete it. Not even you can stop him.

Wrong Picture

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

I was in DC today looking to talk to my boss but no one was home.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

@KingBSon Interesting!

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

I got home tonight and thought maybe I should catch up on the government shutdown. I turn on the news (multiple stations). It was a bunch of people shouting at one another. Even I know that’s not going to get anything done. I guess I’m working at the farm again tomorrow.

When I see these kids walking around with full winter gear on in August, I be wondering should I call 911.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

@TRFyeomanfarmer You really do have my attention!

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

It’s that time of the year. #Purple Hull Peas

It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to make sauerkraut, coleslaw, collard greens or liver and onions, we got you covered. (We really do have liver.) Come see us at the Waterloo Downtown Farmers Market. We may be at the end of the line but we’re not last.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

Nice!

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

@TRFyeomanfarmer Not this year!

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

One of the last heads of broccoli for 2025.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

I don’t think the potatoes are supposed to be this big this early. Maybe they know something we don’t.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

@iowanfarmer @TRFyeomanfarmer @blackdirtpaul They are one source.

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

These squash look great but the production is not there. Lots of flowers some fruit but very small. Any suggestions? ⁦@blackdirtpaul⁩ ⁦@TRFyeomanfarmer⁩

[Shaffer Ridgeway @shaday77]

@TRFyeomanfarmer @blackdirtpaul I agree about the zucchini. More rotting on the vine than we’re picking. I so many flowers on my cucumbers but no cucumbers. We had someone bring out some bees on Monday so hopefully this all changes soon.
