State of the Farm

Today, Sept 21, 2010:
Every committee gave their state of the farm presentation today.  On top of everything else we had to do. :) Busy busy busy!
Crops Committee-It is Janie Imming's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Also, they started harvest Sept 14th.  The avg. of 180bu/Acres with the moisture between 17-20% at the home farm.
Together the class did yield estimates and it gave everyone a chance to check the crops first hand.
Buildings and Grounds- Have been busy helping clean the grain bins for the fresh grain, and assist with getting a bin equipped with a power sweep.  They began to clean the shop area.  This week they are preparing for the Farm Op club to come out for their fall clean-up day on September 30th.
Marketing- 72% of our new crop sold at this point and corn prices above $5/bu we have potential to have a strong income for 2010. 
Machine-Harvest equipment has been running well.  We have not had any break downs thus far. 
Custom-Recently put up a new hog curtain.  They also recently had a meeting with Swine Graphics, he said things look good so far.
Finance-Updated most of the cash flow statements are continuing to pay bills and manage funds. Looking at communicating with all committees to pay bills and get things that we need to pay payed.
PR committee- Just finished up the brochure updates, now we need to get them printed.  Today we had a tour with the AgEd 110 class.  The class had transfer students and freshman. 
Thanks!
