NEWS FROM THE RANCH
Mavis says the beet harvest is going well, although work was delayed by rain over the weekend. Yields are pretty good, ranging from 19 tons per acre in one field, to 30 tons from the field in front of Dad's house. They have a good crew (15 people, including Ron's brother from Missoula) and so far no equipment problems. 230 acres are done with about 600 to go.
Saturday was "apple pie day," with 18 pies cooperatively produced, and a tub more apples for other uses. Mavis fixed "Cabbage Bread, " a German dish made from pastry, cabbage and hamburger (Sounds delicious!).
Mavis had a good trip to Billings for the Sewing Festival, with Lana, and brought home a new sewing machine for Ashley and Julie. Ashley (age 16) immediately learned how to use all the fancy technology and was producing some sewing products.
Dad says the memoirs are interesting, but he has not gotten very far as yet.
