But yeah, I mean, we do our own tiling, and I've completely bent the back framing of a Crary tile plow mounted on my 9RX. I mean, you hit them, it does not move. That doesn't sound like a good day.

and uh really made a bad day yeah yep yep how long have you guys been doing your own tile 2008 so 15 years wow yeah i'm sure that has uh paid extreme dividends yep yep uh we always say we're paying you're gonna pay for tile whether you have it or not so that's how we look at it and uh Yeah, we're going to start a project. So a lot of times we'll try and tile behind our small grains.

So Monday is kind of our go time. We've got a quarter section we're going to try and put. I think it's scheduled to have like 117,000 feet of tile put in it. Wow.

Yep, that'll take us a couple days.

Yep. So our rotation, I mean, right now it's typically, I'd call it a corn soybean rotation that we're continuing to try and add more small grains to. So this year we had like 680 or 690 acres of different small grains, whether it was oats, triticale, hybrid rye, cereal rye. I think that covers it.

Yeah. Yep. So it's typically grown, from what I understand, we grow it on seed production. So I have some seed production contracts with Milbourne Seeds or Renovo out of Brookings. So that's what we grow it for. But I think the dairies are, they love that triticale because it elongates, don't quote me on this, but it elongates and makes for better feed quality, but still gets you the tonnage.

Whereas rye, when it elongates and gets its tonnage, it loses its feed quality. So a lot of dairies are putting it in, and then they'll chop it off in late May or something, and then they'll put their silage corn in. That's my understanding. A dairy guy would much better be able to just grow it for seed.
