All Done

Partners,

Finished corn last Wednesday - done with harvest on October 14th! We think this is the earliest to ever finish, which is so fitting to follow the earliest ever planting finish date of May 2nd. We started harvest on the 14th of September and completed on the 14th of October; take out 4 Sundays (we did work one half Sunday doing beans) and the one and a half rain days on September 18th and 19th, and that means we averaged 120 acres a day with the combine. We did not handle as many bushels as last year, but overall yields were average - especially considering the wet weather of June. We feel blessed to have such bounty.

We appreciate all the great harvest help: Wayne, Charlie, Derek, Ryan, Mitch, Jordyn, Chuck, John, Dave, Grandpa, Aaron. 

We also appreciate all the combine riders to help keep the operators alert and on task: Oma, Opa, Finley, Abbott, Judah, Justin, Anne, Dustin, Lindsay, Tina, Zack, Truett.

Thanks again for your trust in us, your help in the work we do, and the part you play in production agriculture.

Steve, Phyllis, Marcus
