Toban Dyck: The first worst year on the farm

It’s Oct. 31, nearly 8 p.m. So far, no trick-or-treaters. We rarely get those on the farm. It’s disappointing. But, for perspective, it’s not nearly as disappointing as having crop still standing on the field. Which, you guessed it, we do. It’s a first for this farm, according to my parents. Never, in their memory, has this farm been unable to harvest a crop in the same calendar year in which it was grown. While the jury is still out on whether we’ll be able to get to our remaining soybeans, the prospect is not looking positive.
