Morning all! First loads of seeding going out today. Unfortunately, the semi we normally use to deliver seed is out of commission, so we are having to use pickups with gooseneck trailers. What would normally be 2 trips with the semi for one farmer, is going to be 5 trips with the pickups.

Thankfully, where we are, it's only about 40 growers for our area. Not all take delivery, some come in and pick it up, which usually means we are dumping the totes of seed into their seed tender for them. 31 growers for our other location that get seed, but there are a lot of smaller guys there in terms of acres. Our average field size is 120 acres here, other place is closer to 50-60 acres, all due to irrigation. We have center pivots, where the other place has gravity irrigation with the canals/ditches.

Afternoon all!

Two of my all-time favorite pitchers supposed to face each other tonight, Sonny Gray vs. Jesus Luzardo. Will probably be rained out though...

Morning all! I'll jinx the rest of the day, but it's slow at work today. Trying to catch up on paperwork.

At the time of this post this is what the Members online shows. I wish all those guests were actual contributors. No, I don't believe they are actual people or interested in FCB.
