1/11/20 Mark hired a young truck driver named Casey, to help haul our corn and beans starting in December. Mark took a risk and sold some beans at a good price. In one day with 3 semis going all day, they hauled 10,000 bushels and Mark didn't even have to be the one to haul. 1 semi goes to Eagle Grove with beans and two semis go to Gowrie with corn. He has been behind the wheel for years and years. Now he gets to manage the truck drivers and can have time to deal with all the other farm related issues and his Salford business. He does haul a few loads once in awhile and the boys love to ride along.
1/17/20 We have been very fortunate to have such mild weather so far this winter. On Tuesday evening we got a rain ice mix and the temps have stayed well below freezing. That made for ice everywhere from driveway sidewalk, and roads. The temps continued to drop Wednesday and Thursday into single digits. Its been cold and unpleasant. The forecast called for snow and blowing for the weekend. We hunkered down on Friday with all schools closed in the surrounding areas. By 9Am the snow started blowing.
