That's beautiful! Are they going to be able to sell it after harvest?
That's a very good question, 98% of the grain grown around here which is mostly soft white is export. Asia buys most all of it. So farmers around here are pretty nervous
and not to happy about the things on the national scale. They are not waving the red, white and blue right now. The morning cafe get together for coffee with the local farmers is fairly glum from what I understand.
I don't have time for that round table B.S..

Used to spend harvest back in the day helping out with harvest in the Horse Heavens. Saw some amazing yields some years.View attachment 182844
You in that area?Horse Heavens by Benton City?
Yes just up McBee grade to the top and hook a right on county well.Horse Heavens by Benton City?
I remember when the Mun/Mund? project started with the circles up there. Nobody really was taking it to seriously then. Sellards Rd really? Geez things really change. My friend sold about 6 years ago at 221 and County Well approx. Sure was a good time in my life.I have a good friend that has 6,000 acres up there between highway 221 and 395, the last few years haven't been too great up there. The driest place in the world that can still grow dryland wheat. 7" of rain annually is the average.
The are farms irrigated from the Columbia river up to a mile south of Sellards road now. I hauled a lot of grain out of that area in the early 80's.
Earl Borden is a dear friend of mine I have known him 45 years. The family place was right off 221 between Sellards and Anderson Rd. Long since sold.Dad Grew up in Bentucky in the 60's. Foster family he lived with ran animals from land there over horse heavens to pastures in Paterson. Bordens (sp) was their last name I believe
