One day, during spring's work

Today is the first day of summer break. The weather doesn't feel “summery” and that transition from my kids being at school to being home every day didn’t happen. We are all creatures of habit and we depend on holidays, life events and even the cyclical nature of normal things that happen in a year to help us move from one phase to another.

The past few years have brought a lot of challenges for spring’s work and harvest, not only in North Dakota, but across the nation. And with various issues still lingering, we are all getting frustrated. Most of us are behind. Our brains are not focused on what we are doing. There are a million other things on top of the hundreds of things we are already thinking about in farming. While we need to concentrate on the task at hand, so many times we are already thinking about the next job.
