Thursday evening we had the priviledge to attend the Dekalb Yield Contest Winners program at the Circle R Ranch. As soon as we got out of the car, I new I would love this ranch! It sort of reminded me of being back home on the farm, except on a large open ranch in Texas! The hospitality was great the moment we walked up we were greeted with a lovely smile and souther accent! The dinner was fabulous as the beef brisket was tender and tastey and topped off at the end with a peach cobbler! Yum!
Following dinner, Dekalb representatives began the program. Farmers who had competed in the Dekalb seed yield contest this year for the highest yeild, were recognized and awarded here that evening for 1st and 2nd place state winners and nationally ranked. By the end of the evening, they announced the average yield per acre with Dekalb seed was around 194!
After the awards banquet, we were entertained by Tracy Lawrence, the 17 time # 1 billboard artist! His performance was incredible! Brooke and I sat right on the floor in front of the stage and had a great time! Tracy has always had great songs and I enjoyed hearing some of my favorites including "Time Marches On," "Stars over Texas," "Alibis," and "Paint me a Birmingham." Eventually folks came out and did some two step and waltz dances, and we were kind of "booted" off the floor! But we snuck back up to the front and by the end of the night Tracy was looking at us singing along! He even came over after the encore and we got a picture with him! Such a great end to a perfect day!
