Harvest season is fully underway now! 🌾 Thank you to Michael Schmidt at Central Illinois Ag for allowing us to demo Elmer's Manufacturing equipment. Always great to learn about and try new technology.

Despite the two hour rain delay and the crazy heat index, a good time was had by all at the Cubs/Cardinals game. The game went past 11:00 pm, and even the youngest member of our crew made it to the end of the game! Fun times!

Finished up corn planting over the weekend! Thankful for all the help and stretch of weather that allowed us to finish. While in the midst of corn planting, we happened to find a treated, gold box of corn, from Pioneer. For Pioneer’s 100th year of business to farmers, they randomly selected 13 winners to receive gold corn. The gold corn signifies a trip to their research facilities in the United States. Thank you Pioneer!
