Happy Halloween
One of the best days of the years is only a few hours away - the time for smashing pumpkins and fresh popcorn is upon us. One of the problems that comes up every year is the raccoons. Their appetite for pumpkin is almost insatiable. On top of all this they can sense that there may be upheaval in their world with the impending election.
Who do the raccoons want for a president - their preference is likely to side with the Democrats - why Democrats you might ask? They are typically not card carrying members of the NRA. Who is more likely to kill a raccoon - probably a republican. You don't see democratic politicians going on all expense paid hunting trips. Who better for them to support. It's just a shame that we don't let the raccoon's vote.
Enough raccoons and their political views and onto a farm update - the popcorn harvest continues. It's been a good year despite the cool summer the crop is in excellent condition and in another week or two it will all be safely harvested. The pumpkin crop was slightly disappointing, but I planted mainly larger size pumpkins which tend not to produce the numbers. Next year there will be less pumpkins - I felt I need to focus on the quality and not so much the quantity. The popcorn crop will increase however and I have some new equipment to help me do it.
That's enough for my 1st attempt at blogging, perhaps I should not write about such odd subjects like raccoons, but if you come back and read more you will learn about the cultural significance of raccoons and the impact they have on society. You may not think it is an important topic, but they are clever animals.
