Farming in sth East Colorado

Saturday The Stumn family has quite an operation here in the dry corner of the state on the rich black soil in this area.

Linlee and his three sons run a huge farming plant with over 10000 acres of crops . They have had good rain in the last 2 months after years of drought conditions are just back on the ground after half inch on Thursday and they are planting millet with two airseeders and a 60 ft conventional JDeere planter Plus they are spraying with two self propelled sprayers . Liquid fertilizer and some broadleaf knockdown brew . Their wheat in only about two or three weeks from harvesting and seems to be filling well , so it is all happening here right now .

They have purchased an old coop elevator and quite a few grainsheds in the townships of Towner and Sheridan Lakes . Helped Linlee unload a couple of vintage cars A special Chrysler 1957 Coupe with a 392 hemi head v8 Very rare. He also has some others of similar vintage. He was showing them somewhere in Kansas and has quite a few ribbons and a trophy to show for it. They were on a gooseneck trailor that they pull behind a big Ute and they need it to go pickup a draper front from Denver on Monday .

We plan to go to their Church tomorrow and move on to Colorado Springs Monday .
