Someone reminded me this morning that I forgot the Harvest: Complete post last week. That’s true, I certainly did. Special thanks to the many hands who contributed to a safe and successful harvest. I think a fun time was had by all at our annual Post Harvest Dinner. This week looks to be mainly tillage and fertilizer.

Officially completed seeding (at least for the first time). The weather afforded us the opportunity to drag out planting over the months of March, April, May, and June, encompassing a 65-day window. We went from below-normal rainfall in 13 of 14 months to accumulating over 14 inches of rain in April and May. They always say no two farming years are alike. Thankful to be done with the planting part. 👍
