DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED
Don't be hasty in evaluating one's assets.
Many of the proverbial words of advice that have lasted the test of time begin with 'don't'. 'Don't count your chickens' is one of the oldest, and possibly the wisest, of these. The thought was recorded in print by Thomas Howell in New Sonnets and pretty Pamphlets, 1570:
Counte not thy Chickens that vnhatched be,
Waye wordes as winde, till thou finde certaintee

Farm Sayings Friday is weekly feature of Yield Starts Here. You might think your grandparents made it up, but that old saying likely goes back many years. In this feature we will figure out who said it first and what it really means! Do you have a well used saying in your family, send to us and we'll feature it in a future blog.
Yield Starts Here is a blog for farmers, focusing on increasing yield and profitability by focusing on the soil. It is managed by Craig Dick, a Blogronomist and Sales and Marketing Manager at Calcium Products. Find other articles by Craig and guest writers at http://blog.calciumproducts.com/ .
Notice!
Late this morning a van trailer drove though our load out scale and destroyed most of the loud out system. We estimate that the loud out system in Fort Dodge will be down for most of this week.
Please call before you dispatch trucks to Fort Dodge to make sure we can load you.
This only effects bulk loads of SuperCal SO4. Bag and tote loads can still be loaded.
SuperCal 98G in Alden and Gilmore City are still able to load.
Please call if you have any questions 800-255-8196.
Thank you for your patience we will be working around the clock to be able to serve you!
