February Gifts

Moving dirt all winter is a gift however it usually involves extra work such as cleaning tracks so the rollers aren't froze the next morning.

Our crew with the help of Wes is checking out a possible tile outlet for our next project on a river bottom. In order to properly hook up existing tile on the bottom the outlet needs to be nine feet deep at the river.

It's always fun to check out the new baby calves and their mamas. BJ usually starts calving in mid February.

Quincy has had a very good soybean bid so I took a few loads the 160 miles down through Missouri and just across the Mississippi River into Illinois.

A gentleman told me their record number of trucks unloaded in one day is 1200 during harvest time a few years back when they had 4 dumps open. The bluff on the left with the trees has under ground caves that are used to store a variety of stuff including bulk fertilizer.

Last Sunday was baptism for Allison and Natalie. All ten children from both Mark and Stacy's and BJ and Cassia's families were very well behaved during the service.

After the service the guys got a chance to catch up on the latest happenings while the gals got lunch ready.

Since it's so much work to sit still in church the kids took a break.

Finally, my DSM in the seed business, Dana, presents Osky Christian School with a gift of $2500. that Stacy had applied for. Dekalb/Asgrow awards one community gift to a non-profit in each county every year.
