Kentucky ear corn incoming

[Farmer Grayce @_thefarmergrayc]

What a unit.

Dale plants all his corn with this setup. I got the chance to chat with him this morning. He applies his corn chemical at 10 gal/acre with the saddle tanks.

Farrowing “crate-pen”

8’x8’ footprint. The Crate wings open like doors to either side and give the sow a V-shaped area to move around in until she farrows, then wings will be closed in for piglet safety

What is this? Splotchy patches throughout entire field.

Treated seed, April beans. Been a garden spot all year. SDS? Some sort of stem rot?

“Dealership said they’d charge me 10k. Screw that. Are you free Monday?” - Uncle Don

71 years old and could work 90% of the guys my age under the table. Had two open heart surgeries this past Spring. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

[Farmer Grayce @_thefarmergrayc]

We lost Uncle Don a few days ago. He was a great man and had a large impact on my life. Larger than life, even if his height didn’t reflect it. The world is an emptier place without him.

Non GMO’s looking 💯

Interested to see how these turn out. Two varieties I’ve never grown before. Visually they’re not near as loaded as my Channel XF’s, but also planted 30-50k/acre thicker.

Looks are deceiving on soybeans, not setting any expectations good or bad.

I know lots of people hate this job, but it’s one of my favorites

[Farmer Grayce @_thefarmergrayc]

Tremendous beans, if we can keep the disease out.

First time we’ve got an August rain in 3 years, not sure what to expect when the combines roll. 2188 and 1680 are gonna be grunting

Kansas is not flat like everyone makes it out to be

The walk back to the truck after a full day of harvest 👌🏼

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

Reminder that the sparkles on my fingernails don’t prevent me from turnin a wrench when I need to 🤣

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

Little road-trip to @FoulkShay to grab some soybean seed for @gavin_spoor. Loving the new truck so far, didn’t even feel like the trailer was there

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

My little sisters graduation! So proud of who she’s becoming 💗

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

I truly can’t put into words how angry gravel roads make me

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

Working on my landscaping while waiting for the ground to dry out. How’s everyone’s planting going so far?

[Farmer Grayce @thefarmergrayce]

Look at dis
