2009 Corn and Bean Farming Operations

Last year I had the pleasure of farming 520 acres of farm ground in Northwest Iowa and all the things that come with it. I didn't blog about it in 2008, but as much of it became in my life last year I think I will start blogging more about my marketing strategies, and ways to make additional income by farming in 2009. Some of the highlights I will talk about in 2009 include:

• Marketing my grain by following John Roach and Sue Martin ag commentary



• Seasonal trends and where corn and bean markets are pointing to



• Strategies for selling your grain to elevators and coops



• Planting results from planting Pioneer corn and beans, and non-GMO beans



• Application of fertilizer and money saving strategies that will enrich your soil long term



• Using farming profits for investin in other assets for retirement

I hope to gain more readers in 2009 that are interested in marketing their grain, increase their yields, and help the average farmer plan for retirement and be able to retire early. Regardless, I will continue to provide quality frugal retirement planning for all my readers!
