December Bean Check
With temperatures out of the sub-zero range and back to normal, what better time to check the soybeans that Kelly planted in December. Mike, Kelly and Connor head out to dig in and see for themselves.
Winter Beans? Will it work?
Everyone is telling Kelly that his idea to plant soybeans in December is a bad one, but he doesn't care. So, he's got a few bags of beans and he's putting in 30 acres before winter sets in.

South Dakota Snow Corn
Leave it to mother nature to finally deliver precipitation in the form of wet sticky snow during harvest. Lee's combine has been put on ice for a few days as he waits for his corn freezer to thaw. It's just part of farming on the fringe.
South Dakota BB Beans
Lee hasn't seen any rain since early August. Luckily the drought showed up late this year when the crops are better equipped to handle it. The lack of rain is resulting in some very small bean sizes so far and it is pulling down yields from what he projected earlier in the growing season.
Wake Up Call
Lee got the worst kind of wake up call this morning. The kind where it sounds like your home is right in the middle of a golf driving range. Baseball size hail did a number on his corn and vehicles.
The Fringe-erator
When you farm on the fringe you learn to take what mother nature throws at you in stride. Lee Lubbers checks on his newly planted corn crop as the temperatures take a dip.
Field Report: Planting Weather
Kelly is hoping to plant beans earlier this year, but the weather may not cooperate.
Field Report: Reduced Yield
It's been a tough go in Arkansas so far. It's been wet and cloudy since planting on March 3. XtremeAg.farm's Matt Miles is asking for your opinion on possible yield reduction?
