Harvest begins...

Harvest began in earnest on Tuesday, September 4th although admittedly we played around with the machines on Labor Day.  Corn yields have been better than our estimates which is always a good sign.  Corn moistures are not dropping much, with everything we've harvested so far being dried down at our grain center through our continuous flow dryer.  We have not cut any soybeans yet, but localized reports have been nothing short of fantastic.  Tropical Storm Gordon has arrived and has so far dumped 3-5" on the bulk of our farms with our South farm receiving not quite an inch yet. Below are some pictures I've taken so far of our first few days of harvest.  Be safe everyone and watch out for harvest machinery on the roads this fall.
