Getting Excited
|
Getting Excited Getting excited about fall, but not in a sexual way, this is the first year in 20 years that I have done any row crops, I started farming when I was 12 years old, bought my own equipment and renting farm land. I started getting into cattle,and about 20 years ago I switched over to all cattle. This year I went back into row crops, with a twist, I am 100% organic, I still had my tractors and two plows,but had to buy the rest of the equipment I needed to put the crops in, care for them thru the summer and harvest this fall. All I have to do is clean the combine I bought. That involves breaking it down, sweeping it out, pressure washing, soaping it down and rinsing it all out. Then I will have to flush it out with 30-40 bushels of soybeans that will not be considered organic. The soybeans I have been raising this year are a organic, food grade, soybean, they will be used for soy milk, and tofu. It has been a long summer with alot of work, alot of paperwork to meet the requirements for being organic. As fall starts my soybeans are in the last stages of maturing and I am excited to find out how well I have done this year. I have inspected,and counted, figured and I am happy with the outcome so far, not a bumper crop, compared to traditional<b> crop </font></b>production, but still a nice a nice<b> crop. </font></b>I am estimating between 45-50 bushels per acre. It has been a long year so far without a paycheck coming in, so I am going to have to sell pretty quick, and get the checking account healed up. Anyhow, fall is here and I am excited to see how my years worth of labor will turn out,and to just enjoy life. Including a pic of the soybeans with the leaves starting to turn colors and drop off. When the leaves all drop we are about 10 days from the proper moisture levels and harvest.   Anything worth doing is worth doing right |

You should grow marijuana, that's what the hot crop is where I live. Sells much better than apples.

I believe I will be about 10 bushels below average, for conventional soybeans, but I am getting more than double the price for the organic food grade. So more dollars per acre. Anything worth doing is worth doing right

Yep there is nothing like it, being challenged by mother nature, and coming out on top is a great way to live. Anything worth doing is worth doing right

I believe it will be, kind of a out of the ordinary market, which pays better than the normal. Working at shutting my construction business down, and kind of semi retiring if a person can call it that. Ha ha Anything worth doing is worth doing right

Hey congrats on the first season of organic beans..... I hunt a lot and hunt over or close to beans all the time. Talk about a big ole food plot - LOL. I am sure you don't wanna feed the deer. Are you a deer hunter? My hubby and I are avid hunters (bow/gun/black powder). Always enjoy meeting other hunters. We hunt in a couple of areas in Missouri. Have a lifestyle couple that spend a lot of weekends hunting, running cameras, food plots and of course we fuck each other silly........ Let me know... Robin Anything worth doing is worth doing right
