It's hard to believe 2015 is drawing to a close. We already have the 2016 wheat crop in the ground and growing. We are busy preparing for the end of the year. Today we met with our accountant Rush Midkiff and did some tax planning work to close out the financials for 2015 and prevent any nasty tax surprises. We will be preparing 1099's and W2's next month. We have already selected corn seed and chemical programs for the coming year. During the winter months we will prepare a crop plan for each farm and field to be executed during 2016. Hopefully budgeted costs will stay firm and our yields and marketing plan will allow a positive margin in 2016. We will spend the next couple of months in the shop cleaning and preparing our equipment for the next year of work. We have corn, soybeans and wheat to clean out of the bins to make room for 2016 crops.
We held our annual Christmas Appreciation event at Yates Cave last weekend. We hosted 75 people including our landlords, agronomic and financial consultants, our team members and their families. It's nice to relax and enjoy a good meal and great company. THANK YOU to everyone who plays in a role in the success of our family farm daily! It takes commitment and trust from many different folks to keep the wheels turning to make our family farm successful. Our interests are interconnected with input suppliers, end users, land owners and team members to produce high yield- high quality crops in a socially and environmentally responsible way. I prepare a video every year of pictures we take during the growing season to chronicle the past year. As we celebrate the accomplishments of 2015 and look to a safe and prosperous 2016; I hope you enjoy the Jepson Family Farm year in pictures 2015 https://youtu.be/ieySr3hsAv0.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
