As many have heard already, we had an accident on the farm yesterday. Our crop farming manager Alec White was cleaning out a grain bin & slipped on corn, lost his footing and got his foot caught in the sweep auger. While his co-workers, and the first responders worked quickly & efficiently to get him free from the auger, and loaded on the helicopter, the trauma unit was unable to save his foot. He is recovering, but will be in ICU for a few days and unable to communicate for a bit. Anyone that knows Alec, knows that his drive and determination will get him through this horrific chapter of his life. However, he can still use all the prayers and well-wishes that he can get. Please, never forget that haste & impatience in farm life can kill or critically injure you in an instant! And that grain bin safety should NEVER stop, even when it's almost empty. We are all saddened by yesterdays event, and wish him the absolute best, in his long journey to recovery in the coming months. Huge thanks to the Nottingham Twp Fire Dept. and the Wells County emergency services for the timely response and the work that was done in the bin to help get him more comfortable!! Your work was commendable!! Get well soon, Alec!!

Early in January we had some really nice weather for drain tile installation. This is a project we were finishing, right before it got cold. When it comes to return on investment, nothing compares to systematic drainage. It's hard work, but amazing to watch farms change from almost unfarmable, to highly productive. Even better when we can provide our labor to our landlords for the privledge to farm their land. If you are in the market to improve your farm drainage, and your yields, send us a message or give us a call, and we'd be happy to quote our services!

While we might not be changing the landscape of the countryside by chopping all the corn we can find, anymore, we have definitely changed the landscape around Phenix! Proud of all the hard work the construction crews have been putting in this summer! We couldn’t do it without great help! Now we just need to get it all wrapped up in the next 3 weeks!! 😅🌽 🌽

Bittersweet end of an era… 16 fantastic harvest seasons. Way way too many people to thank, to list them all. Blessed to have been able to work with some great customers & employees through those years. It’s just time to go a different direction. I’m sure I’ll miss it, but I believe there are bigger things to come! I don’t have all the pieces of that puzzle put together yet, but rest assured, we will be continuing our crop farming, manure application, & trucking businesses… with more to come!. Feel free to contact me anytime with auction item questions or business inquiries!
