Harvest finished up in December of 2017 for Fuston and Sons Farms. The weather made harvest go well, other than not getting a freeze when needed, which delayed harvest for a few weeks because some of the early dry land didn't want to open up. We feel blessed and fortunate for the crop that we … Continue reading 2017 Harvest

Fall Update on the 2017 Crop
It's been awhile but I want to give an update on the Cotton Crop. It has been a tough season. However, we are fortunate for what we have in our current crop production. We will take a look back on the growing season to where we are today! Where we left off the last crop … Continue reading Fall Update on the 2017 Crop
Sassy’s Babies
We have baby kitties! Our cat, Sassy, had a litter of four babies. Three of them are white with black spots, and one is calico. This is Sassy's first litter, so we were a little nervous to find out what kind of mom she was going to be. Fortunately, she has been a great mom! … Continue reading Sassy’s Babies
Planting & Watching the Seed Grow
As the ground temperature warms up, the planters roll out of the barn to hit the fields where they will spend long hours and nights over the next few weeks. One crucial step in the planting process is to make sure the fields are clean. Spray rigs run in front of the planter to make sure … Continue reading Planting & Watching the Seed Grow
The Skunk Named Flower
One afternoon, Rodney and I came across a field of wild flowers in the middle of the country. We were gazing at the beautiful flowers, when we spotted a black and white fuzzy animal walking towards us smelling the flowers. It was a skunk that I named Flower. The skunk, Flower, was enjoying the afternoon … Continue reading The Skunk Named Flower
Our Farm Kittens
We are not cat, snake or mice people. The best way to minimize squeaky mice and slithery scaly snakes is to have cats if you live out in the country. So, we bit the bullet and decided to get kittens. Our knowledge of cats is bare minimum, so we know this journey is going to … Continue reading Our Farm Kittens
Pre-Season Cotton Preparation
Preparation for the 2017 cotton crop has been underway for the last couple of months with Fuston & Sons Farms. I never realized how much preparation went into getting the field ready for planting. Fuston & Sons Farms uses two systems on the irrigated and a portion of the dry land, which are No-Till and … Continue reading Pre-Season Cotton Preparation
New Baby Calves
There are many new baby calves on the farm. We have black babies, white faced babies, red babies and even a set of twins. Each calf is absolutely adorable! When the momma cows are ready to give birth, they find a place in the brush where they feel comfortable to deliver. The cow will keep … Continue reading New Baby Calves
Texas Sunsets
West Texas sunsets can be truly breathtaking. They remind me of God's work and I feel like they are a gift from above. "From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised." Psalm 113:3 "They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe … Continue reading Texas Sunsets
Mule Deer Study around the Caprock
One thing Rodney and I enjoy is taking a drive in the country. Looking at God's beautiful scenery is one of "His" most magnificent creations. About nine months ago, Rodney and I came across a field that had approximately fifty mule deer that were grazing on wheat. We stopped to watch the deer play around and prance. The deer appeared to … Continue reading Mule Deer Study around the Caprock
