Harvest Progress, Stewardship, and What’s Ahead for 2026

Planting a cereal rye cover crop into soybean stubble.

The 2025 season reminded us that every year brings a different set of challenges and lessons. From early rains to scattered August storms, it was a year of contrasts. Soybeans are in the bin, corn is still drying, and we’re already thinking ahead to 2026—with an eye on stewardship, soil health, and long-term success.

Whether you're a land partner, neighbor, or just interested in what we’ve been up to, this fall’s newsletter has updates on:

  • ✅ Soybean harvest progress and corn drying delays due to healthy plant finish

  • 🌧️ Spring rain delays and how August rainfall varied across the county

  • 🐓 Chicken litter lined up to fertilize 2026 corn acres

  • 🌱 Cover crop cereal rye planted to suppress weeds and build soil

  • 📊 Precision lime and fertility applications guided by soil testing

  • 📣 Our ongoing search for additional acres to rent in 2026

We also share our continued commitment to stewardship—cover crops, erosion repair, no-till whenever possible, and thoughtful residue management.
