It's the annual "Good, Bad, and Ugly" newsletter. What went right and what went wrong. I also spend a little time at the end talk about being able to start cutting herbicides in soybeans! ![]()

We finally had an opportunity between rains to plant soybeans in late May, early June. It was a whirlwind of a week, several consecutive 14-16 hour days, but we got it done! In this update I talk about that experience and some of the things we're hoping to accomplish this season. ![]()
Well it's done...right or wrong, we planted corn in Mid-May while wearing winter coats. In this newsletter I talk about or experience and some of the things we're trying on corn this year. ![]()
In this newsletter I explain our decision to hold off planting due to the extended cool and wet forecast. I give an update on where our crops/cover crops are at at this point in the season and finish up with a few pictures of how fields are looking. ![]()
We're back for the first newsletter of the 2020 season. In this newsletter I talk briefly about what we do, and how and why we do it. I recap our Dicamba issues from last season and go over some of the tests we'll be running this year. ![]()
In the final newsletter of the season, we cover our experience growing white corn, our new Non-GMO yellow corn contract, our seed treatment trial, and give a summary of next years plans. ![]()
In this newsletter, we summarize our soybean season. What went right, what went wrong, and what future directions will be. ![]()
As promised, this newsletter is a little different than previous ones. I went through an old family journal and relayed some of the stories of life and agriculture...hopefully I got the the genealogy right. It certainly makes us thankful for what we have, even with a trying year like this one! Next newsletter should come around harvest time unless someone has something they want to see in one before then! Hope you enjoy it! ![]()
In this newsletter, I talk about our wheat program. I go over a summary of harvest, yield, profit and future directions. We talk about potentially growing cereal rye for seed instead of wheat for grain. I also highlight our cover crop growth after wheat (or lack of it I suppose). ![]()
We've gotten a lot of questions recently on why many bean fields are looking a little weird recently. Leaves don't look quite right from the road. In this update, I explain soybean genetics and herbicides options, dicamba herbicide, and why it's causing such issues. ![]()
