Mid Michigan | Just curious as to how far most of you people have to drive to take your crops to the elevator. We are very fortunate to have a first class operation that is only 6 miles from our place here and 7 miles from our other place. Very easy hauling for me. I can be there with a gravity box pulled at 35 ish mph behind a pickup in about 10 minutes. I did a drive over, unloaded and drove back to the field today in 30 minutes. Dad took a double wagon load today with the tractor and that only takes about 45 minutes. No lines yet as the big harvesting rush has not quite started around here yet. I feel we are extremely fortunate to have this nice place so close to us. Soys were selling for $8.41 a bushel today. Loads I took were anywhere from 12.4 % moisture yesterday to about 13.4 % today. This is in mid Michigan where the weather was a whopping 85 degrees today and about 90 yesterday. | |
