Today all of the corn combining is finished. YIPPEE!!
G3 and a couple of friends in the field.
The corn in this particular field was not as tall as some, but overall we had excellent yields. The weather really cooperated right up until last week when we had two days of terrific wind. The couple of fields that were left suffered a lot of damage and the big guy had his hands full navigating the combine through the downed stalks.
This is our trusty combine.
Big G did a lot of the combining himself, but we did hire another guy to custom combine some fields that are located further away from the home base. We work over 1,200 acres of owned and rented land. This year we raised wheat, oats, alfalfa, corn and soybeans.
It's a very good feeling to watch the "fruits" of our labor pouring into the trucks.
Most of our crops are used to feed our own animals. However, we do sell some feed to a few local producers and some crops were marketed directly.
YIPPEE! Welcome to the DONE CLUB! We had some corn go down due to winds too! I was combining some of it, and that was a real learning experience. Glad you found the great cow escape and Hannah's birth story fun to read. They were both like a good pie, better the second day ;-)
