Morning folks. According to the weather barkers it’s supposed to cool off & rain tonight, tomorrow & maybe Sunday.

I leaned on Chase to spend some money on a new/better corn head yesterday. Either his snap rollers are junk, they drive too fast or the head is just junk, most of the stalks are 3’-4’ long, some still vertical & others laid over. They are just causing all kinds of chaos knocking drive chains off, tearing up the wiring on the row units & even somehow getting up in the feed tubes & plugging them up.

At least I don’t have to worry about not getting any exercise, I am in/out of the cab numerous times to reinstall chains, clean seed tubes out & fix wiring issues…

I got 114 acres done yesterday, I actually got 124 acres done Wednesday & to knock out about 100 today after I get a couple new chains & some proper electrical repairs done.

Sounds like a pain in the a$$ to get done what u did.

Morning everybody.

Latest update on the house.
Still not started. With that being said it’s just that the process is slow and waiting on different agencies to deal with it in meetings and such.
Currently we’re just waiting on the money to be disbursed. The mortgage company does the disbursement to me then I give to the contractor to get started. When they are ready for the 2nd disbursement inspectors are sent out to verify progress being where it needs to be at and a second disbursement is made. Etc.
At my sons house everything has finally settled into a routine.

Man that's slow......
It's a shame big business can't just man up and get stuff done....

But, it's good to hear they're making progress!

And, it's a real blessing y'all have family to live with in the meantime.

We are at 1.11 inch by the weather station we have. More rain than we've had in quite some time. Good luck with the planting.

I have knocked out 324 acres so far as of tonight, Chase should just have about 200 acres or so of beans left. We will have roughly 250 acres of beans for his neighbor to do also.

We will switch over to corn on Monday, there is roughly 1000 acres of corn to put in.

We showed 1.37" rain at 10:30 last night plus 0.15 this morning. Not sure how much more received between 10:30 and midnight. We needed it so bad.
Good luck with the planting @JimBear .

Burning a brush pile this morning.

Had a nice rain last night to help prevent secondary fires.

West wind a 3-7 mph so should be done by noon.

 

[JimBear]

A quick drive by of the rain gauge looks like about 1/2” or rain overnight.

 

[I saw a lot]

We show 0.29" so far for the day.

Me too. Then changing to snow. Different guessers say any where between 1.7 thru 11.9 inches.
