As about everyone probably knows I am right outside of Farmington IL. We normally have 800 acres of corn and 400 acres of soybeans. Right now we have 32 cows but we will be adding a large pasture in the spring so the cow number is going to double this winter. We have a small feedlot here at my house and we finish our cattle. A few go as freezer beef the rest go to the sale barn. We raise enough hay for our own needs but barely.
I was lucky enough to find a guy who wanted to retire, cliff, so I was able with his help to buy his operation and he is still around helping when he isnt busy fishing. Keeps saying he is retired but he has put about 95% of the hours on the combine this fall. Travis is around helping out when he isnt busy putting out fires, literally and enjoying tractor pulls and shows. That being said he works his tail end off for me and I never have to ask. We work back and forth with my dad on some things as he farms a little himself along with being the highway commishioner. He is our go to guy when we need a extra hand. Nick has been helping for a couple years on weekends and evenings then joined the farm full time this spring. He has worked virtually 12 hours a day everyday since he has been here except when it was busy and then were working more. Its safe to say alot of what goes on around here is somebody elses hard work, I couldnt do this all myself, not even close. Having good help is priceless and makes my life very easy.
I better get headed out the door. Nick will be here soon and we need to get chores done. Today we are going to start on a fence building project. Tomorrow, if the weather holds, the guys are going to try to cut some beans while I start putting on NH3.
Never a dull moment!!

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
