We have had a lot of you farmers showing interest in Conventional Corn and have lots of data showing how well it did.

Tom’s Tasty BBQ Tip: Don’t Overcook Your Pork

mitchgroup — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 18:31:37 +0000

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?

mitchgroup — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:37:03 +0000

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.

If you have questions or need help with seed or chemicals for your farm, give Tom Eishen Sales a call. 515-295-3377

Neglecting Maintenance Can Be Expensive

mitchgroup — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 13:14:37 +0000

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.
