May 6th plant date vs April 15th plant date

And the fun begins! Putting up a 36’ x 14 ring Sioux Steel bin this summer.

Should have our fill placed & packed before the rain starts this afternoon. Otherwise we could’ve had a very cool muddy swimming pool🙄

Update: beat the rain. Hopefully concrete is poured in the next week or so

Planter is switched over to sweetcorn. I run promax 40 corn plates with my double eliminators set aggressively to help handle the smaller light seed. Now we wait until the canning plant gives us our planting date. Supposedly that is this next weekend unless the rain delayed it

Making sure we can store more $4 corn and turn it into $3.50 corn😉

Our first marks in the concrete here as a family I’m excited to always have a small moment in time frozen where our little girl is 2.5 weeks old

3rd year raising canning sweetcorn. Praying for our best crop yet🤞

Bye bye 3200 bushel bins

Small bin removal. This will really open up the yard

Soggy..

Anyone else want some rain? We’ve had more than enough to go around.

Drain tile test plot. We’ll be comparing a pass on top of a tile line vs in between lines with 3 replications. 120’ spacing on this portion of the field. No potholes, fairly consistent soil types. Will take a ‘test strip’ every 60’. On top of lines & equally in between
