Cut Flower Updates: September 5, 2025

By Margaret Pickoff

It's hard to believe we're already past Labor Day! Flower fields across the state are packed with color as dahlias hit their peak production and fall blooms like celosia start to inch towards center stage. During crop transitions, or when preparing a planting bed for a different kind of production (transitioning between annual to perennial production, for example) short-season summer and fall cover crops can help keep the soil covered, anchored, and biologically active when a cash crop is absent.

We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!


A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
