Catch Folks Doing Things Right

We live in a world today where it seems easier to accuse people for doing things wrong rather than complimenting them for getting it right. Acknowledging folk's efforts help them feel good about themselves. Folks that feel good about themselves produce results. Ten year old Malaki is unloading corn.

Last Sunday Omega Church recognized and thanked farmers. We attended and drove the Hybrid to church. After services there was an outdoor potluck and fellowship. Thanks Cyril, Jan, Elliott, and Olivia.

Do you consider yourself above or below average in your field? What's your field? What's average? Average is the middle of the best and worst. So half of us are below average and half of us are above.

We live in uncertain times. That sounds difficult. However I remember my parents saying they lived in uncertain times. It's part of life. We will fail at every goal we never make. Another thing. Someone famous once said, "What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving them". Ezra and Jackson teamed up in one of the grain carts yesterday.

Most businesses lead with their best. Seed companies are no different. They start with processing and bagging the best seed they have. That's one of the many incentives to taking next year's seed early. Kudos to Karl and Becks Seed. We have two semi loads of new hybrids in with more scheduled.

Even though equipment is inspected and repaired before fall, breakdowns are part of harvest. A big thanks to our crew for adapting, when things happen. Semi tires and brakes, grain cart scales, and combines are the most common interferences with getting the crop out. Dean is replacing an electric header clutch.

Thanks to Kurt and Emily for supplying pizzas to the field crew for supper Friday evening. They were set up and serving pizzas at a venue in town.

This fall, the later in the season we harvest a field, the less yield we get. In the Bible it says, "Open your eyes and look to the fields, ripe with harvest". The longer we put off talking to folks who don't know the Lord yet, the less results we'll have when we enter eternity. Thanks for the picture Becks. 

2000 years ago, the church leaders brought Jesus a woman caught doing wrong, and demanded she be punished. Jesus said, "Alright, but let the one who has never sinned cast the first stone". When the accusers all slipped away Jesus said, ....."Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more". Drinking poison and hoping others suffer doesn't work. Let's catch folks doing things right.
