Working Cows Dairy Harvesting came a long about 4 years ago. We were tired of waiting for the custom harvesting crew out of Florida, that we decided to buy our own equipment.

Every year we increase the acres of corn we custom chop and put in a bag for farmers in a 50 mile radius. Last year(2007) we cut corn on 3500 acres. Most of this corn was dry land corn and was only 3-4 foot high. This year we hope to have a better corn crop for every body.

This year Jan is starting a dirt moving business.He can move a lot of dirt in a small tim frame, with 2-17 yard pans and his  

big tractor.

 

Below: Some of  last years harvesting pictures with Jan, Jonny, Mendy, Ike de Jong and Toby Edmondson.

This was the last field of late corn we chopped in Campelton Florida on October 15th 2007.

Well we did not harvast much corn this year because corn price been real high for farmers to sell corn.

Only a few farmers wanted to keep some for there cows.

Here are some of this years harvesting pictures,
