Friends and Partners,

Last week on Sunday we had the opportunity to squeeze some fresh apple cider. We had lots of good help picking apples from 2 trees our generous neighbors offered to us. In the end this was our second cider day. In total this year we have enjoyed about 20 gallons of fresh juice. We are hoping the tradition lives on into the next generation as we learned it from the one before us.

Harvest has been held up with wet weather. Beans were complete as of a week ago and down to about 500 acres of corn (mostly non-gmo). Harvest is seeing very variable yields in corn and soybeans. Good quality, well-drained soils seeded early are the best yielders! Some of the lesser class soils really took a hit with the hot dry weather in late August and early September. We are thankful for every member of the harvest crew!!!

Election 10 days away--who knows the outcome?? Never thought prices could rally into harvest this year--what a curve ball for the marketing plan!!

Family all healthy for now--this school year is one for the books!
