I rent the rest from my dad and one other landlord I have, and it's all within, I'm pretty fortunate, it's all within a mile and a half of my house. That's nice. From the bin site, you know. So, yeah, got started with that first 100 acres and I rent 500 from my dad and 100 from another guy, so about 700 acres total. Well, that's not too shabby.

Yeah, so then actually this year we just started introducing cover crops, which, you know what, so far I'm a big fan of. Yeah? I just experiment. I did 300 acres of beans this year. I did 200 acres on cover crops. We did cereal rye for that, and then 100 acres into, you know, tilled ground. I dissed it, and then we field cultivated it this spring.

And I'm telling you what, I've got so much volunteer corn in that tilled ground, and the weed pressure's awful. My no-till stuff looks, I mean, the cover crop stuff looks amazing. It was a good spring for cover crops. It was great. When you get moisture like that, I've... seeing it when you don't have the moisture, it's dry, and then it just turns into concrete. Yep, yep.

Yeah, that makes it a little bit tougher. Yep. We got really lucky over at the in-laws. Oh, that's another solar farm. Is that what you were talking about? Yeah, yep. Huge one. I'm looking backwards for the listeners. I'm the one that's flying backwards, so I get to see things after everybody else does. It's huge. It's huge.

But anyway, over at the in-laws, almost 100% of our acres going to soybeans get rye or some type of a cover on them.

and we got very fortunate this year we got a dry spell right there at the beginning of june we were able to get the crop off and then beans planted and that week it rained off and on for the next two and a half three weeks so it couldn't have gotten any luckier as far as it goes for planting late soybeans putting that together yep if i recall them that weren't really heavy rains they were nice

Nice light soaker rains. It just did a good job. It didn't flood nothing out. Yep. Not everything goes right over there, so it was kind of nice to see that work. Yep. Most things don't go right over there. Speaking of trucks and motors, we've got two with head gaskets out of them. We need to get ready before harvest. Yep. Trucking ain't easy. You got a full-time mechanic? I do.
