Frytown, Iowa
55 csr means your ground is tight with clay. Get tile in there from year one to let your soil breath and your fields be ready to go when custom opp shows up

Next would be a bin so when harvester shows up you can keep him going when elevators generally have long lines or no lines but shut down at 5. Get a fan twice the size you need so you can dry 18-20% corn without heat.

These investments do not require you to be at the farm during the day. A sprayer would be the next best return as you could buy cash and carry chems and can do the job fairly fast but again that would have to be done in the daylight. Not impossible if you get off at 5 a couple days when it’s time to spray. Sprayers can be had CHEAP and are a very useful tool. But the big $$$ is being able to buy chemicals from multiple dealers... everyone’s got their loss leader.

SHOP AROUND FOR SEED! Maybe hook on your order with the guy your having custom plant so everyone is on the same page.
