Thank you to everybody who has been a part of our year-whether you’ve helped us on the farm, or by watching & supporting our videos!
Here’s to 2026🎉
Spring planting recap
We had a super smooth planting season with minimal breakdowns or weather delays. I had been a little anxious about how it’d go with Doug & Sarah’s land to plant but it turned out awesome!
Soil conditions for corn planting were perfect & all our corn has been rained on so it’s emerging nicely. We planted beans into moisture but haven’t had rain on them so they aren’t emerging quite as nicely- but so far I think it’s acceptable. I probably need to go walk some fields and take a closer look though.
I love spring. It’s the fresh start to a new growing year and it’s filled with so much hope and anticipation! Now to see what kind of weather the good Lord gives us this season☀️⛈️
We used less than 1 gallon/acre to do all our spring fieldwork for planting
Fall harvest & tillage is the heavy fuel use season with 5+ gal/acre used. I wish I’d bought some diesel for fall a month ago😬🤷♂️ I have enough $2.99 diesel left to at least get us through summer
This will be our 2nd season raising all Z-series @pioneerseeds soybeans!
Last year we had knock it out of the park yields and I attribute that to timely rains and strong genetics. Success with the Z series beans was pretty widespread & they also won our county soybean plot in 2025.
I’m excited to be planting them again in 2026🌱

Soybean Planting ✅
Now all that is left is our field of sweetcorn but that isn’t scheduled to get planted until June- so we’re basically done planting!!
This week so far:
The end is near for spring planting. We will have 1 field of commercial sweetcorn to plant in June that feels like an encore of planting though
