9/25/2013 Soybean Crop

Soybean Crop  OK, it’s the Midwest and it’s flat.  Soybeans like nice flat black soil.  Some years ago, I took a my boss, who was from California, home to the farm for Thanksgiving dinner.  He had never been anywhere in Illinois except for the Chicago land area.  On the drive south, almost to our family farm, he blurts out,” I have never seen anywhere as flat as this land.  This land is flat!  It’s really flat.”  Of course, it was a beautiful, very clear day and you could see from horizon to horizon.   Well folks, it’s still flat.
