Timely and adequate rainfall over the past few weeks really helped our silage crops, hay fields, and pastures, even while much of the country is still suffering through one of the worst droughts in many years.
After a slow start, the corn and forage sorghum we planted late-May/early-June has really come along and isnt too far away from being ready to chop for silage. With 65 acres worth of hay planned to harvest over the next six weeks, were only 60 round bales away from matching all of last years total. And even though it still has a long way to go, the forage sorghum and sudex we planted in mid-July is off to a good start and should prove to be a good crop if we can get "normal" weather conditions over the next 2-3 months.

| we have a good stand of silage corn, though were expecting it to yield less tonnage than last year |
