Emmy combining:  Max & his uncle Jerred:  Max getting ready to smash a cob on to his cousin Conner's head as said cousin gets a sucker punch from his brother Tanner:

Seconds latter, Rex the Massif comes to the rescue - all slober and no bite:
 Max and I getting ready to pick soem apples farm style...  Max checking out the yield.  Emmy feeding pancakes to the barn cats - more reasons why they are lousy mousers!

Cool. Having lots of cousins playing on the farm was a great way to grow up.

Great that you can share the experience with your kids.
I should be taking my soybeans off next week...or the guy I pay to "machine hire" will be taking them off. I only farm about forty acres so it is not practical to own a combine! The cool thing is he let's the kids "swim in the beans" after he loads the tractor trailer. Simple pleasures.

Ave cost per acre now in Iowa is $4000/acre. 5 years ago it was $1500. I told my wife back then we should have bought a block - told her it would only go up. Guess what she heard for 30 min on the ride home!
