It’s Over…Finally!
Mitch Barlow (RSM, Region 5 – Iowa)
I always consider the 4th of July mid-summer. Well if you go by the school calendar it is. The kids have been out of school for six weeks here in Western Iowa. And I suspect they have about another six weeks of summer vacation.
With that in mind I was doing some paperwork this morning and saw I did my first point-to-point transfer on March 30th. My last transfer was done June 28th. That is taking an extended planting season to the extreme! I believe is has finally come to an end. So, “So Long” planting 2013 I hope I never see you again!
Now it is time to look ahead to brighter (literally) days. 2014 is full of promise and hope. Planning is well under way for our Iowa Kickoff meeting, which will be held in Ames, IA July 30 – 31. I’m excited to tour the completed research station in Boone and even more excited to see the progress of the new production facility in Ogden.
So I’m putting 2013 to bed! And looking forward to an exciting and prosperous 2014!
