This was the best check I have had from soybeans. It might not be the highest price ever, but was paid $8.84 a bushel in October. No complaint here!!

Good on you! I hope you didn't take offense by the reference of pantywaist millennials as "soy boys".   |

Someone is buying grain of some sort. Big extra long grain trains going past here several times a day. This is the steepest grade west of Salt Lake. Trains will be two miles long. Three engines in the front. five in the middle, and two on the back end. I was hauling calves last week and got caught at a RR crossing. It took a long time for that train to get past.

These beans were sold to Tyson. Tyson has bought most of the feed mills around here. They have bought old and new ones as well. The new facilities, they maintain the silos, and build 100 foot concrete mills along side of those. Then the old mills, they remove the old bins and buildings and put up new equipments.
There are rail cars lined around the facilities and often we have to wait for the cars to be shifted around.
Tyson has built a new facility in Humboldt TN where the chicks will be hatched out, and there are lots of plans for new chicken houses going up in the county.
I do wish I could use the chicken litter on my hay field, but I don't want to combat the weed seeds that are mixed in with the rice hulls they use to line the floors. For some reason, the pigweed grows in the water along with the rice planted.
The buzzards are happy about the litter that is spread around as they follow the spreaders in the field and pick up all the dead chicks that are composted with the litter. Looks like a buzzard Christmas party when you pass by a newly spread field.

Expect to another boost in the market after the impeachment curd blows over, also after the first of the year is a good time. Sold 3000 bushels for Jan. at $9.23 and $9.26.
I'm going to guess there will be a large volume on the move starting in February and into April.
Corns still flat line, which is fine with me. The less it moves the better.
