Winter?

It is very cold out this morning.  I can not remeber any time that we have had to quit working outdoors before Thanksgiving. Many years we have been working in December.  I am hoping the snow wil help protect the soil from freezing and maybe we can get a warm up. We took a little weekend getaway to Branson, MO.  What little cropland we could see was harvested. MOst of the stalks were being grazed by cattle.  Yes the cattle were eating even in the snow.
