Mikey,
Who sells that hot sauce?
I need to get a bottle of that for our little hot sauce freak
Just two local guys here.
They approached us a while back to contract grow their seed. It's going good, plants are getting big and producing well. Soon their sauce will be in Publix, w our peppers in it, ha.
I get you some, we also sell it here

Touring my house under construction trying to figure out why its made out of mulch and why there are holes in my walls. I counted like half a dozen.
They sheated that truss on the ground before lifting it. The holes are so they could run a strap through to sling it into place.
 
@tnichols - they chopping that corn or standard combining?
Looks a tad green in stalk for standard.

My buddy in SW IA chops most of his as earlage to feed his 1000k head.
Suckers and fat and taste good, so I will trust him with that stuff.
That's been shelled/standard combining.
If chopped the ground would be clean except the stubble.

This has been combined as high moisture corn (26-30% moisture content). It’s then run through a roller mill and packed into a bunker. Silage cutting was finished about 2 weeks ago as it’s been dry this year. Surprisingly, with little to no rain and oppressive heat, the yield was amazing. Good soil, hybrids, plenty of nutrients, etc... These guys feed roughly 4-5K head a year along with a substantial cow/calf operation. Great family and good neighbors.

Finishing pulling corn down here Friday. Yield monitor wasn't working ,but corn yielded great,except where it was blown down and covered with morning glories. Been raining on and off since ,so no bean cutting is happening. Before rain stopped us,soybeans were yielding 100 + . I'm not surprised, last year I saw a lot of 125 beans when monitor was working. Be glad when this is over ,I'm about tired of ride Foley ride.
