Harvest went very well considering the challenges that the wet fall posed for us. Although we had almost weekly rain delays, we were able to keep rolling thanks to some spread out fields, fields with adequate drainage, and equipment well set-up for the wet conditions. The corn crop was exceptional and beans were above average.…

Here we are on the verge of harvest so I figured I better post a quick update before things break loose (hopefully this week)! We have been busy getting equipment ready to go and are ready to roll when things dry out from over 5″ of rain in places in the last week. We also…

Since my last post, the rains have certainly been timely and adequate. Crops look fantastic. We applied fungicide to the beans using 360 Undercover to spray under the canopy of the soybeans to thoroughly cover & protect the foliage from disease. We also had fungicide flown on the corn to try to help protect the…

The cold, damp spell that followed created some issues for those last beans to emerge. However, after running the rotary hoe to loosen the ground and make emergence as easy as possible for…

Just a quick update before spring really begins! We had quite the mild winter to spend getting equipment ready, doing tile projects, and hauling grain. And although it is quite cool yet, we were able to get out in the field and get a few bugs worked out and get some spraying done today. This year…

We finished up harvest in mid October and the warm, dry weather held out for us to finish fall tillage and field improvements like fence removal, tile installation, and creek dredging. We applied a base rate of fall anhydrous ammonia once the temps dropped at the beginning of November. We were thankful for such great weather…

Harvest started 3 weeks ago we have been running full swing since. The weather has been wonderful and harvest is progressing rapidly. Corn yields are better than expected and bean yields have been record breaking! We are thankful things have been going so smoothly thus far! Here are some pics.
