Services

Custom Forage Harvesting

In 1999, We found our niche with cutting our crops as silage and marketing them to local dairies. We started out having our silage custom harvested. In, 2009, We purchased a forage harvester and put together a harvesting crew.

Swathing

In 2012, We purchased a MacDon swather complete with a disc head and merger. We can easily harvest 16/32/48 foot wind rows. We also have a draper head that can easily accommodate 30/60 foot wind rows. This enables us to harvest smaller crops more efficiently.

Bagging/Packing

We offer Bagging and Packing services as well. We have a Versa Bagger and a John Deere 9520R with a 14 foot Grouser Blade to do the packing if you have a pit or pile.

Custom Harvesting

We also have a S670 combine for custom harvesting of your wheat, milo, or corn.

Custom Hay Baling

We can also accommodate your hay baling needs. We can even do the cutting and raking as well.

Deer Corn

In 2014 we started buying corn from local farmers and bagging it for deer corn. We sell the bag deer corn to local feed stores in the Central Texas area. We do take bulk orders and can deliver or you can come by and pick it up.
