Pickin crops on hold

I don't know whats been going on around the country, here it has been raining and snowing for the past few weeks and it just don't look like there is going to be a break in this for a while, i guess the farmers should have gotten out of the coffee shop and into the fields before this all started.

There have been a LOT of farmers out getting the crops off here, Mike.. Although, there are some crops that aren't quite ready to harvest yet. Most farmers had a LATE plant this year because of all the rain we had this spring... (Remember the pics I posted in BFM concerning the floods here).....

Yep but when put on the spot like the farmers have been which would you do, pick your crop and dry them by machine, or risk loosing it all from being buried in the snow to rot or worse yet when you can get in the fields but yet watch it rain were you can't get in the fields and let them rot. It's all a money factor and they really need to get there shit in gear or they will loose it all, i hear alot of stories since my son works at a fertilizer plant and delivers fertilizer to all the farmers it's not looking good either for them and it is only there fault.

Yep yep. I completely agree with you there!~! What is the name of the fertilizer plant that Jr. works at if you don't mind me asking???

The corporation is CHS But the little town company that he works at is ((new horizons AG)) in Herman Minnesota.

Ah ok.. I thought maybe it was affiliate with some of them around here, but I don't recognize the name...

CHS is all through the united states there the biggest fertilizer company in the world.

I don't think they are around here. Unless they are working under a DBA here. We have Dekalb Agra, and several others. We used to have a company called Terra International, but they sold out to Dekalb Agra LOL...
