2012 Farm

Here are a few pictures of what 2012 looked like.

We wanted to set up a one man spraying operation, so we set up this trailer to haul the sprayer and hold a lot of chemical and water.



Pre spraying the fields to kill all the weeds before we seed.

Seeding directly into CRP

Seeding into last years stubble.

 

Lots of rain in June. Natalie standing in the winter wheat at heading stage.

With lots rain brought disease.  I had to spray for stripe rust.

Over last winter my guys in the shop built hoppers for us too.  Here is a picturee of putting the bins on the hoppers.

The Finished bin yard.

Cutting an unreal yield of winter wheat.  We dropped some of the straw for baling.

 

The trucks waiting to be filled.
It took
4 Truck drivers,
2 Combine drivers, and
1 Grain cart driver
to keep everything moving.

We took time on Sundays to relax at the lake

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you.....that is dry land corn in Montana.

 

 

 

After a month and half of harvest we went camping as a family.

 

 

Now it is time to haul the grain to the elevators.
