Alfalfa/Grass Sales Results

December Results


Monday. December 3,  2012

Market on alfalfa was steady to strong.
Grass quality was average.  Good
buyer attendance with a lighter test.

 

The Salvation Army Bell Ringers
are persistent and ingenious.  Give
them a donation for a good cause
this season.  One bell ringer encountered
a rather crabby store owner who asked
him not to ring the bells because it was
annoying to his customers.  The guy
left for a few moments and came back
with two ping-pong paddles on which he
had printed DING and DONG.  He stood
there swinging them in interesting rhythms.

Next Thursday, Dec. 13 there will be a
freewill donation lunch at the auction
from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The donations
will be for Omar, Peter's 11 yr. old son,
who has leukemia.  Peter is the guy who
usually operates the pay loader at the
auction.  The medical costs are over-
whelming.  We appreciate your generousity.
Seen on a church billboard:  *God never had a
Son named *X*. *  We celebrate CHRIST-mas
not X-mas.  Actually, X-mas doesn*t X out
Jesus.  X is the first letter of the Greek name
for Christ and through history it came to be
a shorthand symbol for the name of Christ.
However, who knows Greek or church history
anymore?  Let*s be partial to Christ-mas.

Alfalfa was a little lower today;
grass was steady and straw also
a little lower.

 

Thanks to all who came and gave
to Omar's medical bill benefit.
It went well; Peter also thanks you.
Peter's wife made some awesome
Mexican food for us all to enjoy.

 

Give the following gifts:
to your enemy - forgiveness;
to your opponent - tolerance;
to a friend - your heart;
to a customer - service;
to all men - charity;
to every child - a good example;
to yourself - respect!

The market was steady to strong.
      ****************
MERRY CHRISTMAS!  The
Christmas heart is a giving heart,
a wide open heart that thinks of
others first.  Jesus* birth stands
as the most signifcant event in
history because He poured into
a sick world the healing medicine
of love which can transform all
manner of hearts. Let Him in.
           **********
Laugh, too!  Jane altered her
drive to work to avoid seeing
her favorite candy shop window.
Accidently, she drove past the
shop this morning and there was
a host of her favorite goodies.
She felt it was no accident, so
prayed, *Lord, it is up to you;
if you want me to have any of
those candies, create a parking
place for me directly in front of
the shop.  Sure enough, God
answered her prayer.  On the
8th time around the block, there
it was!

During a blizzard, when lights were flickering
off and on, Linn tucked her son into bed.
*Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?*
Linn smiled and gave her son a reassuring hug.
*I can*t dear,* she said.  *I have to sleep in
Daddy*s room.*   After a long silence, Tommy
replied, *The big sissy.*

After a basketball game, the coach found
a cell phone on the gym floor.  He picked
it up and handed it to one of the referees,
saying, "Here's your phone." 
"What makes you think it's mine?" the ref
asked. 
"Easy," the coach replied.  "It says you
missed 13 calls." 
              Happy New Year everyone!
