Today Mike Duffy came and talked to the class.
Public Relations: Last week we had committee work time and worked on the strategic issue. We also took pictures of the farrowing building being torn down.
Buildings & Grounds: Our committee with the help from a few other volunteers got the whole west side of the farrowing building down. We also took a load of scrap iron to Bell Salvage and received $250.
Marketing: We sold 1/4 of the 2011 corn crop and 1/3 of the 2011 bean crop for a total income of $106,000 guaranteed for next October delivery. As for our current crop in storage, we has about 1,000 bushels of unsold beans left in the bin so we sold 500 bushels for $12.10 per bushel.We also had a nice surprise of 582 bushels of corn that had been stored in Slater since 2007. Sold that for $5.40 per bushel. Prices are at record setting levels!
Machinery: We've been keeping up with the machinery, but it keeps breaking down.
Customs: We are winterizing the hog barn, curtain repairs, blowing out the furnace, getting the pump ready for manure hauling!
Crops: We're in the process of purchasing seed for next year. We currently have met with AgriGold and Pioneer. Last week, we met with TJ from VanWall and went over our maps from harvest out of the combine unit.
Finance: We are working on our experiential teaching project for Thursday. Other than that we are just updating the cash flow daily and getting departmental things taken care of.
