I saw the new BTO in the neighborhood was working around here today. There were 5 QuadTracs running south of town. I got about 20 miles south and met three of their tractors on the road,each pulling what were probably 24 row planters. I know this outfit got most of Stamp Farms when they went bankrupt a year or two ago,something close to 40,000 acres. They're farming all over the southern half of Michigan. From what I've heard they were working 96,000 acres last year and are up to 125,000 this year. The equipment they had up here today was just a drop in the bucket. Some of the numbers I've heard are just staggering. Like 36 combines,60 new semi tractors just to throw out a few figures. I got to pondering those acres. To get everything planted in 30 days,you'd have to average 4166 acres a day. To harvest it in 60 days would require 2083 acres a day. Wow! How in the world could an operation even get to this point?
