is in the books as of last week. With the nice weather we went right into post harvest activities. We finally get to take a breath since it started raining. Which was much needed!
Speaking of the weather, it has been absolutely beautiful. Which meant no stopping once we started harvest. It was a fast one this year.
Mother nature sure treated us to an interesting year this year with the wet spring and a dry summer. Way too dry in some places!
A big thank you to all of those that helped us!

Never forget.

Plant2024 will be a planting season to remember, or maybe not remember🤔…. We really didn’t see eye-to-eye with Mother Nature at all!!. Along with that we had many unexpected breakdowns that just added fuel to the fire. Thank you to everyone who helped get things wrapped up this last week. It was the roughest one of them all. Tim Aten Michael Illyes Darren Zerrusen thank you!
Hopefully a rough planting season means a smooth growing season.
Here’s a few photos that we didn’t really have time to post in the middle of it all.

Back in corn now! 🌽

Per usual I missed the “first day of harvest” post.

Back at it after the rain delay!

After cutting some regular beans, we switched to seed beans earlier in the week.

We don’t normally like rain delays during harvest, but it was dangerously dry(🔥). So, that rain was welcome, plus it put some moisture back into these dry beans!

Memorial Day!!
In Honor of all who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice.
Including our family’s own:
PFC Rex Lee Brown. Vietnam. 1967-1968. Killed on September 13, 1968.

Regardless politically...this speech touches my soul. Proud to be American!

Folding the bean planter up for the last time in 2023. (Hopefully)

Beans ✅
Corn✅

Finished beans and about an hour later finished corn.
Another successful planting season in the books. As long as everything gets out of the ground, we will be off to a great start to the growing season.

Thank you to everyone who helped!!!!
