    Main Farms is thankful that we are able to do what we do where we do it. We love farming, and we love our community. On this Thanksgiving Day, we would like to say thanks to our friends, neighbors, customers, the Michigan Potato Industry Commission, Michigan State University, a multitude of agribusinesses in Michigan and beyond; and, of course, the Main Farms team that makes everything work. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

    Here is a quick look at our new Mandako crimper, yet another piece of equipment Main Farms utilizes to be better stewards of the resources necessary to grow food to feed the world. This crimper, also known as a roller crimper, seamlessly crimps and flattens cover crops and prepares the soil for the next planting season without disturbing the soil structure with a tillage tool. In addition to preserving soil health, it also enhances moisture retention and reduces erosion.

    Here is a convoy of Main Farms trucks waiting to get loaded up with corn recently during a beautiful fall day. The combine unloads corn into the grain cart because it's a more efficient use of time than loading it directly into the trucks. The trucks then line up and get loaded from the grain cart before making the trip to our grain bins. The Main Farms team is in the process of harvesting about 5,000 acres of corn.

    Tilling the land is a big job. This 640-horsepower tractor has its hands full pulling this 26-foot-wide Landoll chisel plow. The round discs in the front cut up the corn stalks, the large teeth with shovels loosen the soil and the rear discs and levelers cover the corn stalks to promote decay.

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The Main family handed out?LAYS?potato chips recently at the annual Trick or Treat on the Farm event at Hillhaven Farms in Edmore. There were a ton of things for the kids to do and see, including games, animals, firetrucks and tractors. Thanks to everyone who stopped by — including so many kids in great costumes — at our table. This is always a great event.

    Here is a brief video of the Main Farms team harvesting soybeans. This year, we grew 2,400 acres of soybeans, which we harvested and then sold and shipped to Zeeland Farm Services in Ithaca. They process about 45 million pounds of soybeans each year.

    Here is a quick video of one of our trucks being unloaded into one of our grain bins. The corn initially goes into a wet bin, where it will be dried down to 14 to 15 percent moisture. At that point, it will be moved into one of the bigger bins, where it will be stored until it's ready to ship. The Main Farms team just recently began harvesting the 5,000 acres of corn that we grew this year.
