The new Unverferth Renegade ammonia application bar arrived at the farm this afternoon.  We ordered this machine in July of 2021, and it took all these months for it to finally get here.  Can you believe this took a full 18 months from order to delivery?  We will place this in service pretty soon, for we apply our nitrogen fertilizer with it ahead of the corn planter.  So, this will be one of the first machines to go to the field this spring.

It was delivered by Gene Williams, a friend who works for a regional transportation outfit. It is always a great day when Gene shows up here with a new machine for us.

Nice to finally have this machine on the ground at the farm.

Gene Williams…he’s very experienced at delivering equipment. And a good guy, too.

I finally got released by my doctor to drive again.   It has been 6 weeks since my knee replacement, and it feels good to get back behind the wheel of my pickup once again.  I had a really good driver, though, for the weeks when I was not driving.  I surely enjoyed my times with Pat as my chauffeur.  Kinda like “Driving Mr. Daisy”.

Have a wonderful weekend.
