Mid Winter Update...

Winter has arrived and it's cold outside! We continue to stay busy working in both the shop and the office. Maintenance in the shop is ongoing as the guys have rebuilt both corn heads and are working on converting a frac tank over to bulk water storage. We have cored all our corn bins with numerous trips to Bartlett Grain in nearby Jacksonville. Year end office work continues and we are also working on finalizing our 2024 inputs and crop plans as well. 

The new farm shop is full of winter projects. While we still have plenty of finish work to complete on the building, we are glad to be moved in ahead of the cold temperatures to take advantage of the in-floor heat and continue our preventative maintenance work.

Our first two semi loads of Wyffels seed corn are in the shed. We have started to take delivery of some of our spring inputs and also still finalizing the last of our crop plans. 

Hauling corn from our bins to Bartlett Grain in nearby Jacksonville. Bartlett Grain sends four to five 100 unit car trains to Mexico every week via the Kansas City Southern Rail line. We are lucky to have them in our backyard creating such a demand for corn locally.
