Fall Harvest Action

 Fall Harvest action is in full swing in our area!  We are almost finished with corn harvest and have begun soybean harvest.  The corn crop has been great with above average yields.  The early planted soybean yields have been great too.  Our harvest crew has put in some long days and nights to make it all happen in the harvest window.  We have been spread pretty thin trying to harvest corn and soybeans at the same time.  Sowing winter wheat has been thrown in the mix this week too!  

The fall season is a beautiful time of year to be in the fields working.  We've had some amazing sunsets this harvest season.  This picture was taken in Simpson County KY.

Dad and Jake Mitchell unloading the combine "on the go" to maximize combine efficiency at harvest.  Sherman Marklin waiting on a load of corn.  There wasn't much waiting this season!

Dalton Crumley loading a trailer at the field.  Ricky Massey below is unloading a load of wet corn at the bin and hauling dry corn out.  We don't have enough capacity to hold all of our corn crop in our bins at once.  We have to haul corn in and out daily.  Some of our corn has already made its way to end users for pet and livestock food and the rest is stored in bins on the farm.

We are at the halfway point of the harvest season with the corn almost done and starting soybean harvest.  Remember to watch for tractors and combines on narrow country roads this fall.  We aren't there to slow you down we are just trying to get our work done.
