It's corn pick'in time

After all the work, the terrible drought and expense, the corn is coming in. It looks good.
We got lucky with the yield. It could of been worse. The bottom land held moisture during the drought.

Corn is Political. Oil prices drive corn prices. So does demand.
The price of a bushel of corn this week is $7.55. Twenty years ago the price was $2.30.
Supply and demand and the cost of oil and ethanol production is raising the price.
They say we don't have inflation, but corn, oil and agriculture land costs go up every year.
Politics aside, Harvest time is a time of great joy.



On the way to the corn crib.



Notice the wind mills.
Farms are blending
new and old ways together.








Lord of the Harvest
place your fire in me.
