Hoping to Have Enough Corn to Fill It

This past week the new grain bin was built.  It replaces two old ones that held a total of 8,000 bushels.  The new one will hold 21,000 bushels.   It has the safer type stairs.

Underneath the bin is an expensive chunk of concrete.  It's about 6" thick.  It is now covered up by a steel drying floor.
  

The next thing is getting the electrician here to get it wired up.

It's about time for the guys to start getting the combine, quadtrac tractor & grain cart, 4 wheel drive tractor, ripper and semis ready to go.  If the beans are ready, we could be combining the middle of September.

Iowa is looking pretty this time of year with everything green and the corn tasseled.  We've been having great weather too.   Our sweet corn is ready now.  I plan to freeze some this week.  We had some today for lunch that tasted good along with grilled barbecue chicken, salad and deviled eggs.
