Any Okies in here?

Haha if I had the welding skills you had my truck would almost be as badass as yours.

Welp, sirens went off around 4ish in sapulpa this morning. Never heard them before. Called the smokey non-emergency line. They were evacuateding people due to flooding. We're good though

 

Glad yall are ok.....seem like Tulsa and the surrounding areas flood a lot.

 

This year...yes. never seen it like this before

 

Do yall usually not get this much rain?

 

We usually get some flooding in the rural areas every year. But this year I think we broke a record on year on rain totals.

 

If we got rain like this regularly, we'd grow rice on our farm instead of soybeans

 

Eufaula lake is at the level it was in 90 when everything flooded.

 

Pretty sure I'm gonna buy a shit ton of alyoooominiuhm & a syncrowave 300 to build mother effin' ark/house boat

 

Hahahahaha! True that! Although.... I have a pecan farm and I'm betting we are going to have one hell of a crop for the next year or two~~~

 

What's up with all you guys owning farms up here....I need a farm....I don't own shit up here. ...

 

I don't own it...yet. My mom & uncle have about 40% each. My grandma has the remaining 20%. So technically, it's more like my family's farm.

 

I'd say we don't have a farm but we bought a Sod farm the other day.

 

Cool beans. We've got a small pecan orchard. Don't really maintain it though. If weather keeps doing this shit, this may be a bad year for us. Can't harvest wheat any time soon, & may have to plant soybeans late

 

What do yall do with the pecans? Shell them and sell them?

 

Here's eufaula dam

 

Geese that's nuts!

 

Our farm has been in our family since the Oklahoma land run. Since Oklahoma has been a state, it has been our property. We got two lots (330 acres each). It used to be a cash crop (pecans) but since I've lived there it has been extra cash. I have a guy come out and shake the trees for me and pick up the pecans. Get a cut of what he picks up, and I manually pick up the rest. Other than that, land is just leased for cattle. Pondorosa is who buys the pecans. They sell locally in Oklahoma.

 

That's how I am. It's my family's farm. My grandma owns it and I'm either the heir or the next buyer. I was raised by my gma so I grew up on/tending the farm.
