This picture was taken some 30 years ago and the young lady shown here now has a daughter that will be this size in about a year. She already has her Mother's smile and love of cats. Some of the old material that I sorted through today was from about the time this picture was taken. During the early '80's there was considerable concern about the amount of grassland being plowed up and planted to corn. As the "farm Crisis" followed much of that land was planted back to native grasses and put in the Conservation Reserve program. The contracts have run their course on most of the land in that program which cost the federal government millions of dollars. Nebraska produced their largest corn crop in history during 2013 and some of it on "newly developed" cropland. (Again plowed out of grass). One reason people are inclined to be "grouchy" as they get old is because we have seen unsuccessful activities repeated and often at government expense. Maybe I should just trash the old papers instead of reading them. Elaine doesn't like for me to be Grouchy and fixed me a roast pork, baked potato, creamed pea gravy with baked apple and banana bread for supper.
