Seed Corn going Fast!
Attention Corn farmer’s:
If you are still in need of any Seed Corn for the 2011 growing season, we have many high yielding number’s to choose from. We have a huge selection of high yielding Refuge corn, and Conventional Corn. Its time to get your name on some seed as some supplies are getting slim or running out. Last year, as you all recall, the refuge corn did as well or better than the stacked corns did. We have had a lot of you farmers showing interest in Conventional Corn and have lots of data showing how well it did. Give me a call and I’d be happy to come and show you what we have to offer, 515-320-3431
Tom’s Tasty BBQ Tip: Don’t Overcook Your Pork
When folks stop by our shop for our Saturday BBQ feasts, a popular question is how we keep our pork so juicy. While some of that might come from our BBQ sauce, a big problem is that folks overcook their pork – it gets too done.
Look, the trichinosis scare is pretty much done. Hogs are no longer eating garbage, they get feed protein-rich foods. We don’t have to cook pork up to 180 degrees anymore. Get it to 140 degrees and you’ll find your pork is tender and juicy.
The great taste comes from our BBQ sauce. Hope to see you some Saturday soon.
Multi-Stack vs. Conventional Seed: Worth The Investment?
Tim Schneider was out in the field talking to our farmers this week and the conversation centered around the multi-stack seeds and how they’re comparing to conventional seeds this year.
After a lot of conversation and some surprising yield tests, we’ve found that a large percentage of the conventional seeds are outperforming the more costly (multi-stack) products.
Here’s a call-in audio post from Tim talking about what we’ve found.

Neglecting Maintenance Can Be Expensive
The Southeast FarmPress site shares information from a recent Purdue study on how neglecting machinery hoses (or choosing the wrong ones) can lead to expensive repairs – and possibly even replacement.
It’s one of the things we see much too often here at Eischen. We always recommend (and assist) in repairs and maintenance — with an emphasis on preventative maintenance.
Here’s a link to the article and you can download the full Purdue report for just one dollar.
Prepare for Fall: Pesky Pests in the Field
We have folks asking about their drain beds a lot this season, and right now is a good time to pay attention to those as we enter harvest time, folks are stopping by to get some Malathion to help prevent little critters from coming in and eating the corn you have stored.
