Drove to Norfolk and back this week and today drove to Fremont. It is shocking how many pivots are running or just finished a trip around. My own pivot is on its 3rd time around already. This is going to be a looooong summer.

What a pleasant surprise this morning, light rain off and on all morning so far. After a horrendous dry spell last winter and early spring, we’ll take every drop.

Hey Kansas folks, drove from Smith Center to the Flinthills region. We saw lots of wheat being baled or chopped. Were the yields going to be that poor or did forage pencil out better?

We visited the Henri Chapelle American Cemetery in Belgium. The locals treat this cemetery with such reverence and honor. These are mostly airmen that were shot down in WWII. Nearby is another American Cemetery where every grave is adopted by a family to take care of.

Tomorrow is the day! Join us for an Irrigation and Nitrogen Efficiency Field Day at our farm. I’m still hopeful the rain won’t start until noon so we can meet in the field. But we use my shop if necessary. Cinnamon rolls and doughnuts and coffee at 8:45! Sentinel Fertigation
