The Field Report

The Crop Year Is Above Average…

November 9, 2020

A Good Crop …but not outstanding, Trent Brandenburg sums it up. The excellent harvest weather enabled smooth field work. The dry days helped field drydown which lowers post-harvest cost for drying. Trent is happy with his yields. The nice fall weather enabled fall tillage to proceed rapidly. Trent is done with his fall field work. […]

November 2014 Farm Report

Trent Brandenburg is happy to have completed his 2014 corn and soybean harvest. “I’ve never known of elevators shutting down because they were full of beans,” Trent observed.

Trent is 75% done with his ground work, which has been slowed due to wet soils, “wet but tillable.” Trent likes to fall till to eliminate the tracks of heavy machinery and get a head start on next year’s spring planting. He estimates “a couple of days of nice weather” to finish up.

Trent explains that this is the season that will be remembered for many years. “Remember ’14,” farmers will say, recalling the near perfect weather but wishing the market prices would have been better. The yields were near-miraculous for Trent: a farm average of 70-bushel soybeans and 240-bushel corn. Trent will now begin planning for next year’s inputs.
