Day Three of the Farm Trip
Yesterday I spent the day near Independence, Iowa with Chris Barron of Carson and Barrron Farms, Inc. Chris and his team of farmers farm about 7,000 acres along with a custom farming and seed sales business.
I will write a later blog on what his team is doing.
We spent most of the day moving grain around. These days farmers can spend more time on the movement of grain during harvest than actually harvesting the grain.
I finally got to ride on the combine for a couple of hours before I left for Illinois. The field I was in appeared to be yielding in the 180 range which was considered good since a couple months ago the expectations were in the 140 range.
As usual I had a great day and look forward to today. I will keep you posted.
