Harvest continues...

Harvest continues to roll on. Compared to our friends in Northern Illinois we have been very fortunate to have such mild weather and few rain days. We know how blessed we are this fall with good weather, good yields and a fantastic harvest and tillage crew. We are making good progress on both the harvest and tillage side of the business. We have all the soybeans harvested locally as well as Greene County. We have 295 acres of beans left on the Williamsville farm and hope to get those harvested this upcoming week. There is still plenty of corn to be combined, but typically the weather in late October and November is more conducive for corn harvest than soybean harvest. We've had our share of breakdowns and we'd like to give a BIG THANKS to the folks at BEARD IMPLEMENT in nearby Ashland for getting us going as soon as they could. Their service is phenomenal! 

Another benefit to having a grain dryer is having the ability to get fields tiled in early fall. This was a project that we were not planning to do this fall, but given this was our first field harvested the tile guys jumped on the opportunity to tile when it was 90 degrees out versus 30...

Refilling the combines with Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

We decided to add another grain bin at our grain center late in the spring. The crew from Automated Ag in LeRoy, IL was exactly on time with there estimate of when they thought they would get it built - first week of October. We are excited to have this added to our facility on time to be able to utilize this fall.
