This year the company that hosted our corn, soybean, and cover crops plots hosted a tour with dinner as well. Phil had a lot of work getting the fields ready (and just having a plot is more work than one’s normal field) but he enjoys this so much. The company brought in the canopy tents, did the advertising, and brought the food!
Brand and variety signs along the corn.
Proud parents enjoy the party.
Huge cooker for boneless pork chop sandwiches.
Corn anyone? Bright & golden down the straight rows.
Soybeans and corn.
Cover crop plot. (we really had hoped for rain before the plot to help these fledglings along. In the end, they did well.)
Our cover crops are planted into the ground where we had harvested wheat in July and we let the straw stubble (after baling) remain. It all provides nutrients to the soil.
What do you think?
