Thanksgiving

We have again been very fortunate to get a lot of our fall fieldwork accomplished. Below are pictures of our last day of anhydrous ammonia application. We now have all our fall fertilizer applied as well as primary Nitrogen source for next year's corn crop. Last year we did not even start anhydrous applications until the day after Christmas and even then we only got 160 acres applied before it got too wet. It feels good to be caught up compared to last year. We have finalized our 2020 cropping plans unless the markets over the winter tell us they want more corn acres. We've selected the corn hybrids we will be planting next year and are still ironing out the details on what brand and variety of soybeans we will plant next year. Harvest equipment has been mostly washed and put away and we are gearing up to haul many semi loads of corn from our grain bins to the rail terminal in nearby Jacksonville during the month of December. We also plan to haul some of our nonGMO soybeans over to Archer Daniels Midland Co. in Decatur in December. As you can tell, we have many blessings this Thanksgiving to be thankful for. From all of us at Johnson Family Farms, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
