The bottom video is from the combine harvesting soybeans. You can see the header cutting the soybeans off at the ground and gathering them into the feeder house of the combine. Soybeans are found in many everyday products including plastics, news print, automobile components, crayons and bio-fuels. The soybean is truly an amazing bean!
I'm a 7th generation family farmer who grows corn, wheat, soybeans and tobacco in Southern KY and Northern Middle TN. Let me know what you think or if you have questions about what we do!

Fall harvest, planting and hospitality.
We had the opportunity to host the Robertson County Junior Leadership Class at the farm a couple of weeks ago. This group of bright students represented all 5 high schools in Robertson County. We had a great visit and answered many great questions about Agriculture in Robertson County and the importance of Agriculture to our local economy. It's great to see the next generation taking an interest in their community and we were pleased to be involved in telling our story. Our county is still considered rural, but unfortunately many in the population are 2 or 3 generations removed from the farm and really don't understand what we do and why we do it the way we do.
The top video shows the air seeder in action sowing wheat. The no-till air seeder cuts through the corn fodder and plants without having to till the ground up. This will reduce erosion during the winter months.
