 WHAT’S GOING ON? – It seems everyone, even the animal kingdom, it interested in the harvest operation. This white tail fawn came out to the edge of a cutting on the Chris Ellis property, to see how the harvest was progressing. The look on the deer kind of says, “What are you doing to my covering?” Pretty soon, the white tail was flashing as it bounced through the barley on to other pastures beyond.
