4th generation farmer in the Red River Valley of MN. Raising Corn, Soybeans, Spring Wheat, & Sugarbeets. Working with cover crops and reduced tillage.
Time to kill off those covers in the sugarbeets. The C.Rye carcasses will stick around and do their wind protection thing until the beets grow up big and strong. #sugarbeet #covercrops

Looking like it should be a good day of skiing today. Lots of fresh stuff in the last 48 hrs. #RedLodge #MT

Not a bad looker for 25yrs. Debated getting rid of it when the daughter moves up vehicles for college. Now thinking either modify it for fun, or keep it for a farm runner. #Jeep #1999

Been crunching numbers on some plot data and wrapping up this year's financials. Figured this was in order today. A little homemade Mead to relax.
