Harvest11 Pics Week 2





Harvest11 Week 2 UPS & DOWNS


It was an up and down week for harvest. I expect every week will have ups and downs this year. I hope we get some more ups and not all downs.
We shut down Tuesday and went to the Farm Progress Show but did not stay very long. I wish we would have stayed longer as I didn't have time to see much.

We have now finished our best fields, the early April planting. The worst field was 128 bpa and the best field was 200 bpa. The latter caught a rain in early August. We have started with one dry number in the May planting but will move to the mid April planting next week. I expect it to be around 20%.
We have been having a lot of trouble with our Shivvers drying system as we spent all Saturday afternoon in the heat working on it and it is still not working right.
