B2 Farms, LLC are commercial grain producers with
agricultural operations in Fairfield/Columbia, NC and Brooklyn, WI.
Our emphasis is corn, wheat and soybean production. This "multi-state" approach
allows us the ability to diversify our operation while reducing risk
and maximizing efficiency.
We also believe that this approach allows us to capitalize
on critical input decisions that might become apparent in one location
but not so in the other. With this approach, we're able to stay well-connected
to the U.S. Cornbelt from the Midwest to the Eastern Seaboard.
Farm Report
Winter 2010
by Brek Burgweger
This fall and winter have been extremely wet in eastern North Carolina. We usually start planting winter wheat around the first week of November but the weather was so good the last week of October that I felt we should take advantage of it and start planting a week earlier.
Little did I know that that timeframe would be the best opportunity to plant wheat for the rest of 2009. We finished planting on November 4th and exactly 1 week later received 12 inches of rain in 48 hours from a Noreaster that started off the coast of North Carolina. There was so much rain that the pumps that drain the farms couldn't keep up so the fields were under water. Fortunately, the first of the wheat we planted in the last week of October was already germinated and out of the ground so the standing water didn't hurt it as much.
