<![CDATA[Labor Day Weekend]]>As we enter the Long Weekend of Labor Day, we, as Americans are celebrating nearly 150 years of The American Workers. We have built the strongest workforce of our globe, and we have much to be proud of.

Now, while I’m tempted to celebrate the end of the Hot Days of Summer, (especially here in Texas) It is the drive of American workers that has made our country GREAT.

A special thanks to all of our military that made this possible. A tribute to our Law Enforcement that protects us. There is a reason that the world did see America as the Land of Opportunity. May this continue as long as the great people of America value just how special this is.

God Bless America!

Started on Saturday and finished today because the “watching” of the first 3 batches was stopped when we wanted to start watching thee Georgia-Clemson game and being close to fire was getting to be an obstacle due to tooo many bourbon tasting sessions. Like many days out there, pics were not taken. Finished up the bags on Sunday and took some pics because “other” things didn’t get in the way. Will be ready when the supplies are needed in the future. So, here’s the second day batch.

Before school, after school, In those days it wasn’t unusual to expect a 6 year old to carry their weight.
Never thought about it since I was born into it, except I missed all the kid oriented TV shows my classmates always talked about
Got to stop when dairying didn’t pay anymore for the smaller herds, never looked back

I think the prices came back up and he still has his other 3 Guatemalans working for him. Very nice folks. 1 is trying to get his family here and get citizenship. Very hard workers. As far as the rest of the country right now I hope everything gets back to some normalcy and all can live prosperous that want to.

Working at a factory, just to come home and keep the farm running. It always amazed me how dedicated they were. My respect to you for doing it.

Sunday sometimes more depending on what needed to be done. I dont know how i did it for 10 years but it definitely burned me out. The market crashed and farmers were really struggling with prices. He said he may have to temporarily hault my employment as he just couldnt afford it any longer trying to keep the farm afloat he cut a bunch costs. Got rid of his new tractors and bought some old ones. It really hit him hard. About a week later of our discussion my fulltime job looked at other companies of what they were paying their employees for my position and decided they had to raise us up to remain competitive. So it all worked out in the end. And yes it is nice to have weekends off, i wont work 6 days a week at the fulltime job either. I missed alot of family and friend time in those 10 years. Money is nice, just shouldnt run your life

We will be right there with you with an inspection in the morning before a day or two of report writing (while trying to make Gumbo at the same time) & then hit the road for Natchez, MS, Port Allen & Opelousas, LA for a few more inspections before heading back to write reports.
