The Last Acre II
/
Partners,
Weather has permitted harvest to roll along very quickly these lasts three weeks.
We finished soybeans Wednesday night and took a picture of the combine in the same area the planter was when we talked about planting the last acre in the spring--how fitting!
Soybean yields were good considering the weather, although the excess rains in June really did damage, especially on the flat fields without drainage (tile).
Corn harvest is half done and the corn is dry enough now that we can turn the dryer off and direct bin the rest of the crop - this will go fast. Yields are respectable, but again the excess rain really held back the low areas of the fields with poor drainage.
Overall, it's an average year. We are thankful for the great harvest weather, the great harvest crew, and the opportunity to work with this awesome creation - God has provided us with an opportunity to feed the world!
New crop prices:
Corn 3.67
Soybeans 8.54
