Well we are welcoming in 2012 with open arms hoping for another good year on the farm. The weather has been pretty mild so far this winter which is good and bad. Our subsoil moisture is still pretty low and it would be nice to get some frost in the ground to help kill some of the bugs and help mello out some of the topsoil. This past week we were able to complete some waterway work with the bulldozer on one of the farms and we are beginning to haul some farm stored corn into ADM in Decatur. Basis levels are still pretty good which is a good indicator that there is still a strong demand for corn in our area. We also finished up with the end of the year bookwork and started on 2012.
If anyone is going to the National No-Till Conference in St. Louis next week let me know. Dad and I will be speaking on two different topics on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
