We may just put the South 40 into Bacon this year ! Rain / sleet / snow here so far today and a windy 40 F...5 C and not a good day to be outside. A friend's wife is DOORDASHING and got a $25 tip for a load of groceries.... I am in the wrong business!

Those are some healthy looking bacon seeds. You can expect a good crop from them on the south 40 acres. Come harvest time you will be raking in millions of $. Is your current combine harvester capable of being outfitted to do the harvesting?

It was +8F here all day with very light snow, N wind. Got a total of 3/4" of snow so far with heavier amounts forecast for tonight and tomorrow. I went out to shovel at 4 pm, and then had some crock pot chick on a bun and some peas for supper. I was going to have some spuds but they were not cooked in time. They can wait for a subsequent meal, along with the leftover chick. I decided not to walk the dog today. I phoned her and she was actually relieved to hear that because she doesn't like the cold anymore. She turned 6 March 1.

It seems to be a tall plant... over 2.5 meters necessitating
hand harvesting and boxing much like cantaloupe.
