The latest news from Brandenburg Farms

Shoveling Bins, Discing, and Waiting

Trent Brandenburg has been shoveling out the last contents of his grain bins to market the last of his stored grain. He has been able to do some discing to prepare for soybean planting. The windy days have been too windy for preplant chemical applications, as Trent would rather keep the chemicals staying on his own ground after application. He is waiting for warmer weather and some rain for planting soybeans. The ground he has worked “worked up fine.”

The soil moisture maps show abnormally dry in Trent’s area, but there has been enough rain to make the soil workable.
He will continue his preplant work for the next week or two. Then he expects to be planting.
