From the Rows | Chip Flory Western Leg Day 1
Day 1 of the Western Leg of the Pro Farmer Crop Tour is in the books. We had 47 scouts make the trip from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to Grand Island, Nebraska. The team pulled 77 corn and 76 soybean samples in South Dakota and a bunch of samples from northeastern Nebraska (we’ll talk about those Nebraska samples tomorrow night when we finish the state in Nebraska City). The corn sample count was down 6 from last year... and the reason is a preview of what we’ll be into tomorrow. RCIS is back as a sponsor again this year and normally some of their adjusters come on Tour and run a route. This year, adjusters are too busy dealing with hail damage in Nebraska and simply could not get away from their jobs. We’ll tour that hail area on Tuesday.
