All of the corn has been sprayed with post herbicide. We also spread urea on all of the corn. Waiting for dry weather and we will spray the soybeans.

Started planting corn.
It is April 16th and the corn planters are rolling through the fields.
Spring is here.
The last half of March was spent checking out the equipment to make sure it is ready for the filed. Now that the calender has been flipped to April we are getting started in the fields. We have reshaped and seeded some new waterways. Leveled off the fields that we chiseled late last fall and anhydrous ammonia is being applied to the fields. It will not be long and the we will be calling the coop to have the pre-emerge hebicides sprayed on the field and the field cultivators leveling out the ground so the seeds can be planted.

Farm Program 2014
Brent has been filing out the paper work to get the farms enrolled into the new 2014 Farm Program. We are updating the yields and reallocating base acres if it is needed. The next step is enrolling in the ACR-CO program which has happened on some of the farms.
Harvest 2014 is Final
We finish combining corn on November 12. We got most of the tillage done and a lot of anhydrous ammonia applied. The early cold weather has made the end of the season a little more difficult.
