Fall Fair

I decided late last week that I was going to take the domestic plunge and enter baked goods and photography in the Shelburne Fall fair, I even went one step further and entered a few garden veg for good measure - turns out I did alright!

Baked Goods:
1st - Raisin Butter Tarts (only entry lol)
2nd - Plain Butter Tarts (only 2 entries lol)
2nd - Tea Biscuits
3rd - Peanut Butter Cookies

Garden Veg & Flowers:
3rd - Sunflower Heads
2nd - Butternut Squash3rd - 5 Green Tomatoes
3rd - Dahlia Bloom

Photography:
1st - Colour Photo Any Subject
1st - Black and White of "Childs Face"
1st - Black and White of "A Bird"
2nd - Enhancement

It was great fun and next year I intend to really step it up!

The Cost of Farming

Our Barley crop was a complete flop - which has me in a bad mood. Thought I would share the depressing figures.

Seed - $0.00
Custom Spraying - $218.21 (Paid for Chris' Dad's spraying in lieu of the seed)
Custom Combining & Trucking $617.37

8 tonnes of barley crop @ $105/tonne $845.25

$835.58

Gross Profit $9.67

Joys of Farming - PRICELESS

I edited for language.
