Corn... it's always a late harvest with that. and we had a lot of rain this fall that made everything later.

about 1500 acres to go... which is about 10 days straight with no problems...

How many acres do you have total? I'm guessing you aren't the only one in your operation.

No, I'm the hired hand in a farming operation.
We have 3 full time guys (including myself)
All the trucking is hired out.
Total acres we cover, including custom work, is around 6000 for the year.
Around 4000 of that is corn.

We average about 110 acres a day on corn.

I'm guessing a few more hired hands too. What do you do through the winter?

I just started working for them in Sept. Going to the guard in Jan.
From what I've seen and know, when I come back, they will make it right with me through the winter, no problems.

And there is always maintance on the equipment, once we get the big heated shop built.
