Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
The high moisture corn goes through a fermentation process and becomes what we call insiled. It will keep for years like this as long as it isn’t exposed to air. We pack it to get the air out and then we cover the top with plastic and hold the plastic down with lime. Just a few year ago we had a bunch of chiefs and not very many Indians for this job. Now most of the chiefs have gone to the happy hunting grounds. My daughter in law recruited a bunch of 4-H and FFA members to help. Now it looks like we have a whole tribe.
Sure made the job easier
Hope they come back next year to

Here’s a couple pictures of our Old KW for Pappy and Bob
This is what I consider her good side although she looks pretty good from any angle.
Just kinda like that air cleaner stack sticking out the side.lol some engineer probably got scolded for forgetting about where the air cleaner was going and put it there as a afterthought.

We got a call yesterday afternoon telling us that beet harvest is not allowed to start until 5:00am Thursday morning.
Yesterday I spread rye seed for cover crop on about 80 acres.
Then I had a couple hours before dark. It was a pretty nice day so I headed to my tree stand in my fence row. Saw several deer but nothing close enough to shoot. Probably not even close enough to see on the pictures I took.

Today is windy and drizzling rain. Did a few things in town. Was really hoping that Diesel prices would come down some by now. Man we are spending a large fortune every day right now and it’s going to be even worse when we start sugar beet harvest

PS I’m still burning E-85. I have over 170,000 miles on my truck and have only burned a couple tanks full of regular gas. I have had zero problems with the E-85
