Corn and soybeans in far NW Missouri. Tile and move dirt when we’re not farming. Mizzou ASM 2015.

#Plant26 is off to a great start on corn. At least the bean planter is working so far.

@AdamJPfeffer Not bad. We’ve figured it out off of Geringhoff’s YouTube channel for the most part. It has its own monitor for down pressure/park mode/etc so the only things the combine runs are pretty much header speed and reel functions

@gavin_spoor @DanAllred1 MT755D with a Massey MFVF1230 (White 9812) to plant corn
CAT 45 with a Kinze 3600 16/31 for beans/wheat

@JeremiahDJohns In high school I played against Semi Ojeleye and to start the game he won the tip and they threw him a lob from half court as soon as he got inside the 3pt line. The rest of the team didn’t even bother to cross 1/2 court. It did not get any better for us the rest of the game.

@gwiesefarms Corn 100-150 with 12R30 with starter and 2x2
Beans 150-200 with a 40’ Kinze box planter
Did 525 ac of beans once with a 24R30 bulk fill in 24 hrs switching between 3 operators

#harvest25 is a wrap. Time to get the dozers, excavators, and tile plow moving.

@Bkitch1Bodie One of my favorite parts of fall. But the dryer is a couple hundred yards from the house so that helps.

Got a preview of tonight’s storm early this morning

Third N pass going on before we get rained out for the week. Will look a lot different in 3-4 weeks from the Hagie with the y-drops.

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

Never changed the tracks while hooked on before. 16”s lost some guide blocks so the 25”s will finish #plant25

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

If the weather wants to dry up I’m ready to switch from #Tile25 to #Plant25 anytime.

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

Wrapped up strip till today. Feels like we’re the only ones not planting but forecast for rain and 38F this weekend is keeping the planter in the shop for now.

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

Couple more days of strip till before we get the planter out. Still early and it won’t take long once we start.

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

@Cetter15 Went through it in 2011 and it’s amazing what moves and what doesn’t. Bins laying on top of each other but a plastic antifreeze drum didn’t move even after the shed it was in was gone.

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

@LorneBoundy 1.5 gal/ac for dyed fuel
0.4 gal/ac for road fuel

Dyed is only that high cause we have one fuel trailer for the ag equipment and one for the dozer/excavator/etc

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

Pretty good service from @TimewellPipe. Ordered at 9am unloaded by 10pm same day #tile24

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

Night shift drainage. Only good thing about prevent plant is early tiling.

[Dexter Barmann @mizzoubearcat]

@DDFalpha Beans here could be really good if it rains or they could be all plant and no pods if it doesn’t. Corn goes from really good to running out of water and N. All depends on plant date and whether the water sat on it in May. 3/10ths on 7/20 is all the rain we’ve had in 30 days.
