Anna the farmer

Anna helped do some scouting this morning and had a very nice time. We first checked on the sprinkler.

Then we went over to (Gray) "County!" to look at the dryland corn.
Anna insisted on helping with the ball probe.
Here Anna demonstrates the incorrect use of the ball probe. The ball probe gives you some idea of the soil moisture. The little steel ball on the end goes easily through soil with adequate moisture in it, but won't go through dry soil.

This is what you want to see, and it made Daddy very happy.
