Should Of Stayed In Bed


As a few of you know I have a organic row<b> crop </font></b>operation, I just got back into row crops last year after about a 20 year time frame. I shut my construction business down and went to farming organic only. Last year I raised organic food grade soybeans that will be used for soymilk and tofu. I did not have a contract on last year's soybeans and I have been holding them waiting for the price to come up. I made the deal, and I was supposed to deliver tomorrow, I got a call this morning and the guy buying my soybeans had a heart attack last night and is I a coma now. I definitely do not have the worst part of this deal my buyer does. But I have worked my butt of for the last 4 days washing trucks, grain carts, ECT and unloading the grain bin. The guy who owns the trucks Will have to have them back Wednesday. So I am waiting on a couple of phone calls to find out if I have somewhere else to take them, and probably lose about 10 thousand dollars, or if I need to put them all back in the grain bin and pretty much waste 5 days of labor.
It would of been alot simpler to sleep this day away, and not have these options.

Wow! You're certainly stuck with a lot of labor and possibly out a lot of money. Certainly wishing the buyer to make a full recovery.
Hopefully you'll get that phone call and it will be good news!

Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

Dang thats harsh! I feel for the guy who is in a coma. Thats scary stuff.

Possibly having your labor be for nothing stinks. Losing 10k is not much of an option. I'll cross my fingers and say a prayer that this mess untangles.

A soak in a stock tank with a shot of whiskey might help smooth things out

Yes I do sound sort of harsh about it, but I do bad for his family, I have a little different view on death, I see it as it is in gods hands and if the person has had a good life, done what they wanted, there isn't much to be sad about.
As far as my problems with not being able to sell my crops, I was told last week if I didn't have them delivered by tomorrow, Wednesday. The soybeans would not get sold this year. This could really hurt me since I have not sold or taken any money in for two years. It is starting to stress me pretty good. Ha ha

Yep several deals fell through, but I just loaded the semi's and the beans will be delivered in the morning. First paycheck in over two years.😁
