December Details, Then Christmas

Trent Brandenburg has a lot of details to work with in December before the presents can be wrapped and the tree trimmed.
Trent farms plots of land for many different owners. In December the harvest is done. No two plots of farmland are the same. So Trent has to review the performance of each plot with its owner to plan for the best return. Trent also has to monitor the condition of his stored grain to be sure that moisture levels and internal bin temperatures are satisfactory.
The stored grain is uncollected money; Trent wants to be sure to maintain its value.
Trent and his family with you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year.
