    Howdy partner, I am in awe over what you all are doing over there , and wanted to say thanks , if it were not for all you guys and gals efforts we would all be in a world of hurt !!! I didn't realize what all you guys and gals do over there either , and by the way that wheat field looks , you all are doing a great job . I was raised on a dryland wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Oregon , and was wondering if that was irrigated wheat or dryland , and if its dryland it sure looks good . I never saw a dryland wheat crop doing that good unless it was in a sub-irrigated bottom , but whatever the case your guys are making it look good !!!! The world owes all of you a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts , and I just got done reading the Farm Journal article about your work in the agriculture efforts in Iraq , and I think that is just plan awesome Sir to say the least !!!!!!!!!!!. Please keep on truckin , and thanks for making the world a better place . Take care and have a great day . Tony Newbill in Wickenburg , Arizona , loves ya'll . P.S. please check out this website too, www.tire-lift.com its a tire carrier for the Humvee that I invented here in Wickenburg , and is being implemented into use .

    The farmers would love to see some wheat like that about now. The cattle would too! We were down in the Runnels Co area today and you can't find any good wheat. It is really dry.

    Msgt Wegner (Bobbie),
    I enjoyed reading your article in the Farm Journal. You and your pals are doing a great job. No matter what anyone says, our way of life is pretty damn good and to help another people learn about and appreciate a FREE life is just a wonderful thing. Thanks for all that you do. Thank all the young men and women who are sacrificing for me and mine as well as for those in that country who have never been so fortunate as us.
    I was raised on a farm in Illinois, but have been a Texan (Wichita Falls) since 1969.

    You guys are looking at a man who has mastered the skills of raising wheat and managing workers. Because of him someone has food and a job.

    That is a good point...
    is he working?
    or waiting?
    or posing?
    Homor is a great way to look at life!
    And...
    I would like to thank the US army, like the first blogger metioned.
    It is good that there is someone out there for us.
    But that doesn't mean war is always necessary!
    I am a real pacifist, and that is definetly what I belive.
    Of course, the current troops are
    helping out alot.
    it is good to see children getting food, water shelter, and etc.
    However, there are alsways people who disagree...
    You can never get everyone to say the "same thing"...
    but its just human nature.
    Thank you, US troops, and gob bless you until everyone comes home.
    MSG. RONALD C. WEGNER, please keep me updated till then.
