One of the records that we are asked to consider keeping as an certified organic grower is weather records. I have not started recording the weather yet. There is no reason except I haven't sorted out how to create a routine that work for me around recording. I am really bad at following through with routine activities. We need to go out and get a new thermometer so we know the temperature. Frank did a number of the one we've had. He pulled the wires apart.
Today is overcast, cool and a slight breeze. It feels like another storm is coming and if the weather forecast is correct, I think we are getting one.
I am off to run errands for the day (banking, post office, etc.) and go over the books before they go to the accountant. Hopefully they will be ready to go soon.
Last night the grain burner stopped working. It always happens just as we are falling asleep. Josh is great and gets up to fix it. He always frees me from the late night broken burner duty. Last year in February and March we would take turns because it would need to be checked almost every night. We are planning to get the propane burner fixed so that if in the night the grain burner has problems at least there would be some time to fix the problem before the greenhouse freezes. With only plastic the temperature changes quite quickly.
Enjoy your day.

Google calendars are pretty easy to use and would be an easy way to keep track of the weather. As well you could task/share it to somebody else to fill it out for you if you don't have the time. As well google docs have some pretty amazing features if you have not yet played with them.
ReplyDeleteSteven suggested possibly one of those weather stations that you can plug into your computer and it will keep the records updated for you? Depends on what kinds of records you need, I guess.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a grain burner? Is it a grain dryer? Surely you are not keeping warm burning grain!?
