2018 Harvest

Soybeans

Soybean harvest saw a few breakdowns, but it was the weather again this year that caused the most headaches.
Winter caught up with harvest again this year, and we had to dry the last 1200 bushel of soybeans.

Corn

We rebuilt the corn head before harvest this year and also upgraded our drying system to this Farm Fans AB12b automatic batch grain dryer.

Here are a few shots of it working at night.


2017 Harvest

Soybeans

It was a little wet during harvest. We harvested 335 acres of soybeans for ourselves and 260 acres for others. This year we added a Brent 470 grain cart to the operation.
Unfortunately harvest was late this year and snow caught up to us. We had to harvest half our soybeans while they were too wet for storage and had to dry them.


Corn

We harvested 150 acres of corn, and dried it to 15% moisture for storage. As the corn came off the field it ranged on moisture from 19 to 26%.

Here a video tour of our grain bin and drying site.
