Cattle have personalities just like people. You learn a lot about their temperament when things go wrong, like when the equipment breaks down mid-harvest. It is all about how you handle the pressure. #Farming #RuralLife

A quiet look at the rhythms of farm life. From the vast fields and hard-working equipment to the daily care of livestock, it is a reminder of the dedication behind our food. Ever wonder what a full day on the farm looks like? #Farming #Agriculture

Proper silage storage makes all the difference in keeping feed cool and fresh. Meanwhile, it is time to get the equipment ready as the team preps the soybean head for the harvest season. Success is in the details. #Farming #Harvest2024

Two days of intense work ahead for the silage season. From drone field inspections to precision machine calibration, the team is fully prepped for the harvest. Efficiency is everything when the crop is ready. #Silage #Farming

Equipment failure is the ultimate test of a farm crew's patience. Dealing with blown lines and constant plugging while racing to finish silage in downed corn is a struggle only those in the field truly understand. #Farming #Harvest2024

Delayed parts forced a quick change in plans. Sometimes you have to switch to older equipment to get the job done before the rain hits. Adapting is the only way to save the harvest. #Farming #Harvest

When politics interfere with global supply chains, farmers pay the price. Relying on backup machinery during a critical corn harvest proves that resilience is the most important tool in agriculture. #Farming #Agriculture

One night of bad weather can wipe out months of hard work. Looking at a flattened field, it's hard not to question the risks taken. Farming is a constant gamble against the elements. #Farming #Agriculture

Farming looks peaceful from the air, but the reality on the ground is different. A breakdown during silage work is a high-stakes reminder that one mechanical failure can put an entire harvest behind schedule. #Agriculture #FarmLife

The dairy herd is all logged and accounted for. Time to switch tractors and head down to the dry cow lot. #FarmLife #Dairy

We've come a long way! After this bag, we're heading to the dry cow lot to switch bagging tractors. Onward and upward! #FarmLife #Harvest

Finishing up the chopping at the main farm. Graded the yard to prepare for the next step with four and a half bags of material. #FarmLife #Chopping

The conveyor is greased, but those big main bearings that run the drum? That's where the real work is. #Maintenance #Engineering

A true team effort! Greg, Nathan, Jack, and Mark's son joined forces to get this bag packed and ready by 11:30 AM. #Teamwork #Dedication

Our dry cow lot is nearly done, aiming for completion in about 3 days if all goes smoothly. The new chopper blower is performing exceptionally well. Wish us luck as we get going! #FarmLife #Agronomy

This blustery day turned out to be perfect for getting this project rolling. Almost lunchtime and then we're firing it up! #ProjectLaunch #WorkInProgress

Our newest milker, Nolan, is training up fast! He's already catching on and getting as big as his dad, Greg. Soon he'll be hauling and milking like a pro. #FarmLife #Milking

Stopped bagging where it should have! That's how you do it. Turns out the red tape was right in front of me all along. #DIY #ProblemSolved

Nathan and Greg are setting up the bagger, ensuring the backstop is securely attached for efficient operation. Clean-up is underway to prepare for the next step. #Construction #Operations

The moment we've been waiting for! Nathan's pulling the 7610 around by himself. Let's see how this dual setup looks. #TractorLife #FarmEquipment
