The grain may be in the bin, but you're not out of the woods yet

There may be a field of corn or two here and there that may need to come off yet, but for the most part, all of the crops grown in Richland County are either in the bin, in the bunker, or delivered to their final destination. If you have grain that you are storing on your farm, I would encourage you not to forget about it. You may consider periodic checks on your grain just to make sure that everything is exactly as it was when you first put the grain in there. More than likely, you will not have issues if the grain was properly dried an aerated but it is better to find out now rather than wait until you start to unload it for delivery.

Speaking of grain bins, I would encourage you to come and check out the trade show at the MonDak Ag Days and Trade Show on January 13 and 14. Not only will there be quite the line up of agricultural products displayed, but there will also be some excellent agricultural and livestock talks given over the two day period. For more information, click on the link above, or give me a call at 406-433-1206 or send me an email.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the headlining entertainment for this year's event. If you are planning on coming to Ag Days, make sure and get your tickets for the Thursday evening banquet. A delicious beef dinner will be served and you will be entertained by none other than Baxter Black. Tickets are on sale now but quantities are limited.
