Dang, Thats some rubber on the wheel loader. Does he use that out in the field to retrieve bales?

Yea, actually his boy uses it to load bales.  I heard second hand he moved 30,000 bales this fall.  Tires are Alliance 1000/50R25 on custom rims.  NTS tire in MN put the package together for him.  Wide tires really make a different machine out of wheel loader.

Beautiful day , hit 50°. Had pretty much accepted that primary tillage was over for 2020. This field was still getting manure applied the last of November. No severe cold temps, and then 20° above normal for mid week, and we're setting another record for late tillage.  IMG_1014.jpg   165.77KB   2 downloads

Every time I see the amount of top soil you have Cy, almost makes me want to cry.  Wish you'd sent me just 8" - 10"  so I have almost double the amount i presently have.  I have to measure mine in inches, where looks like you go by feet.

This is not for the dairy. This is a sideline my nephew got into years ago, moving big round cornstalks. Picture from 3 years ago.

Nice root grapple, can I borrow it? Lol

When you compare land some people have a chance to farm vs what others farm you wonder how they can even grow a crop.

Hope this isn’t the way 2020 is going to be. It has rained here every week for quite a while. This is the road into my field now and the water is still rising.

Nope, 2020 is going to be get way worse!

The farm that was renting the Harvestore, went 100% silage acres for corn. It's available if you need storage. We house 200-250 head at any given time for them, with 150-175 of those being dry cows. They do an excellent job, and this year won "Quality Counts Award" at the 2020 Forage Analysis Super Bowl. At 2500 acres plus of silage , the mountain is sizable.

Now that things are slowing down on the farm. My wife and I are planning our honeymoon. Anyone have any Idea of the COVID restrictions in South Carolina? We are thinking Hilton head Island.

Maybe this will help.
