It’s a gray looking day out there, kinda feels like winter, even though that’s about 3 weeks off yet.  The skies are cloudy and gloomy, and there’s a damp feeling in the air.   That makes for a good day to work in the office, where it’s nice and warm.  We are now pretty much all planned for the farm’s fiscal year end on Wednesday.  The cash flow is planned, and the expenses are finally a known amount.  It is a good feeling to be ‘ready’ for that.

Grain deliveries will pick up again next week when December arrives.  There will be many loads to take to GPC and ADM.  That will be the bulk of the daytime work load here at Carnahan & Sons.  But there will be some bookkeeping each day to keep everything current.   So the routine of the work continues.

The machines are all cleaned up now, and stored away.  The trucks are even shiny right now, but the weather next week may mess them up a bit as they must be out on the roads delivering corn and soybeans to market.  That is also a good feeling to have your machinery looking clean… dad always told us ‘take care of your machines, and they’ll take care of you”.  We have defined a few small repairs to perform on the JD combine, and those are scheduled to take place soon.  The new ammonia applicator bar has arrived at the dealer, and we hope the set-up on it will be finished in a couple weeks, so that it can be delivered here.  We’ve been waiting since July of 2021 for that to arrive!   So, each day we make steps toward #plant23.   It’ll be here before you know it!
