Sink hole and stink hole

  With the flood this past summer and the large amounts of rainfall since then, this area has been plagued with sinkholes. There have been sinkholes in major roads, parking lots in town, and in farmer's fields. We've been fortunate with only a few smaller sinkholes to worry with. The other day my farmer noticed that a dip in the farm lane was 'dipping' a little more than usual. When he stopped to look it over, there was a big hole caved in right under the pavement.  So out he goes with the tractor full of stones to fix it.  Little did he know that he had a much worse hole to work with the next day.

 This hole is out in the middle of the rye field.  Hopefully it doesn't sink any more.

Yes, it's true; farmers have to get a little stinky once in a while.  The flapper in the big liquid manure pit needed to be replaced.  After they hauled out the manure, Farmer Grandpa lowered my farmer down next to the flapper so they could fix it.  They were in one big smelly hole!  (I'm glad Grandpa was here so I wouldn't get volunteered for that job!)  :o)

 Farmer's sure have a 'hole' lot of jobs to do on the farm!
