Fall Harvest.

It's now officially Fall 2011 and time for harvest.  The corn didn't look like much of anything till late July when some much needed rain arrived and gave a big boost.  Since we had hot, dry weather all Summer, corn harvest came early this year and while the corn looked good, the yields didn't. The corn yields were down a lot.  In most cases, down 50% or more.
Here are some pictures of corn harvest:

As we mentioned in our last post, we have some new and improved things happening on the farm.  One of those is a grain bin project which was started this week.  We brought in a bulldozer and pushed out 2 small bins and leveled the area.  Why? Because in a few weeks, we will be lifting the bigger bin up and setting it on a new pad where the 2 small bins sat and will be building a newer, bigger bin soon in the place of the old one.

In our next blog, we will look at 2 new pieces of equipment recently purchased along with continue to show improvement on the bin projects and hopefully show soy-bean harvest assuming we get some rain.
