The race is on!
Today we broke a record with the earliest wheat load ever delivered to the Roggen Elevator. While that may sound exciting, the early harvest is really a reflection of the extreme drought our country has been facing. In fact, the U.S. wheat crop is now projected to be the worst since 1965 — 61 years ago.
Those numbers are certainly disappointing, but we’re choosing to keep our spirits high. The harvest crew rolled out of the yard this morning with American flags flying, horns honking, and our traditional harvest breakfast burritos in hand.
One bright spot in a tough wheat year is that the lighter crop allows us to run a smaller harvest crew, which means other field operations can keep moving throughout harvest. Dom is spraying, Divan is tilling, Quade and Robin are harvesting — work is getting done!
Wishing all farmers good spirits and a safe harvest season ahead.
