Triple R Silage in Bethel

This field is actually one he is having the adjuster look at for lack of rain.  Most would be proud to have it.

9009 Happy with this. First that was planted and received the least amount of water. Pictures from Bethel. Leslie Smathers is less than a mile away and has weather info. Has the insurance adjuster coming out next week to look at lack of water. Still looks good.
