Hello to old and new subscribers. I have not forgotten about you, just pushed this to the back of the list – for too long. It’s been 3 month; I’m not sure where I should start.
Rufus has been going places a lot. In the last 3 months he was in Chicago 6 different times, St. Louis twice, Kansas City twice, Middlefield, OH, New York City (2 to 4 day trips) and a few other closer places for day.
Last week we had workers here from Agri-Service, installing a few things and making adjustments on equipment. Adding on to the building is in the planning. The waste water system they started on last winter is up and running. The neighbor man is here today putting a wall into the one aging room so we can have different temperatures for the Prairie Rose cheese. There seems to be something going on most weeks.
Milk production has slowed down enough so the boys don’t need to make over 10 batches a week anymore, to everyone’s relief. It’s been a drag this winter and up until a couple weeks ago. They put a lot of cheese into the aging rooms the last 6 months. Sales remain strong, we are glad for that.
