The drone caught the Meeker boys goofing off!

@TSmith1867 Lock n lube have been good for us.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@FarmChicJodi We can store about 75% of our production. No way am I letting bushels sit over a year and deteriorate. Insane.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@BantrySeedFarms Absolutely. We have done it many times. Obviously you need big fans. Run it continuously and monitor the drying front.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@Badgerswimr 20+ lower

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@TFervida3 @DDFalpha @usda_nass Agree. Illinois yields are 10-15% low on corn and average on beans. My guess is they want to lower harvest price for insurance payments.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@FoulkShay Darn rain.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

Hauling beans like it’s 1974.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@FoulkShay And the “combine seeded cover crop”

This video from @timothyjrinehart shows the impact water has on tires. It seems almost like a magic trick, but it’s physics. The water reduces friction, so the trowel slides right into the rubber instead of bouncing off!

@SamuelBHudson No rain makes grain…come into the elevator!

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@Storm5farms With the rain this fall, we will be seeing lots of green fields even with losses.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@Bkitch1Bodie We’re 10-15% off the highs for sure. Local neighbors reporting the same.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@SamuelBHudson Yeah. Didn’t expect this little shower.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@weedgirl24 Seen lots of trucks rolling to Morton and Princeville.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@SamuelBHudson Washout and rut making for sure. Maybe some grain making. We had close to 10” at the farm over the last few days.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@FoulkShay Brimfield about 3”. Yes, lots of rain north of Galesburg, waterways are full. 5-6” for sure.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@dane_berggren Tarp is a one touch. Trap doors must hold the button. Which is fine.

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@Garrett_Ruskamp 30-40

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@gavin_spoor Maybe the down pressure valve for the wings is failing. Starts off level and droops after a few hours?

[Sam Meeker @yieldmapdozer]

@gavin_spoor When you first lower it from transport height, do you hold it down an extra few seconds to make the wing wheels synchronize?
