Man has spring sprung, seems to come earlier every year. With temps in the 60-70 range everyone is goin great guns. We're pretty much done with calving, there will be a few stragglers that string out for the next month but the majority of the cows are finished. And with the good weather they should be able to pretty much take care of themselves, so hopefully no more 3am checkings. The new grinder came in a few weeks ago, Minkler farms bought our old one. This one came with about a 100 horse upgrade and hydrafork. We've hauled what is hopefully the last of the hay in, unless theres a big storm. Which has been known to happen in this country. Still have about a 200ton sitting in the feilds waiting for the buyer to come get, but all we have to do is load his trailers, so that wont be much work. heres the morning feed crew waiting to get loaded up We drilled 200acs of oats last week, used the CCS. And with the good weather we finally got to start putting some NH3 on. JAE has been putting alot of dry on. About 5000 ton since Feb so far. Keeping the dry machines running hard. Since the weather is so warm the wheat is realy starting to take off. So we started running herb and fung a week ago. Boy those new trucks and trailers have really helped out. the tender trucks have been runnin there wheels off, even had to brake out the old truck that we had hoped to retire. Well, thats all for now. not much goin on. Things keep spinnin round. ?s , comments and criticism always welcome. Thanks for lookin, Dustin.

Nice! I really like your sprayer/tender trailers. Hopefully we'll be in the fields in the next couple weeks.

thanks fellas. Yeah its going to be getting real busy here in a few weeks. Most guys wont start planting corn until the middle of april. But theres alot of fence to fix and feild work to get done before the planters roll so yeah its going to be hectic.
