Wheat harvest....

A strange summer indeed..... our wheat harvest was tricky, but given the weather we've has this summer, we should be pleased with our 70 bushel yield.

This makes 2009 a little under our 5 year average.... but certainly not bad at all...

How did others do ?

About 85 bu in the north west area of Huron Cty. Neighbours had anywhere from 40+ up to 80. The further away got up to 100+ (far and few between) but the bulk of the good fields ran just over the 85 bu. My avg - about 80.
Probably be a different story when we get to the soybeans... not good.

What Separates the Top-Tier Pork Producers from the Rest?

Some would say the pork industry is on the other side of the biggest financial downturn the industry has seen for the last 30 years. Others say we are not quite there yet. In a Farm Credit peer benchmarking review, Chris Ford, vice president corporate swine lender with Farm Credit, looked back over the past several years to see what differentiated pork operations that have done well and those that have struggled. 1. Production is king. “Producers who have adhered to strong biosecurity measures, embraced technology and have taken a mindset of getting as much production out the door as possible have had as much success as anybody in this industry,” Ford says. 2. Good bookkeeping matters. “Those who have done a nice job with financial acumen and understanding where they’re at from a financial standpoint have survived this downturn,” Ford says. “As a lender, we see that every day. Those producers that keep good sets of books and understand their cost of production make the best decisions

The family-friendly event was presented by the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) in partnership with the Iowa Cubs and Fareway Stores. “Events like BBQ & Brew show how strong our communities are when we come together for a common cause,” said Doug Gruver, IPPA board member and two-time event volunteer. “Giving back is at the heart of what we do as pork producers.
