Farming Practices

O'Neall Bros. & Scholl, L.L.C. uses 16-row equipment to plant and harvest their crops annually. All corn, as well as half of the soybeans, are planted in 30 inch rows. The other half of the bean crop is planted in narrow rows.

The method of tillage is minimum. All ground is deep ripped first with zero to a light working of the ground before planting. There is little or no cultivation of the crop after emergence. The only work done after emerging and before harvest is to apply nitrogen, herbicides and fungicides.

All grain is dried and stored on the farm until delivery. Presently, there are over 300,000 bushels of storage on the farm. The grain handling system is built around processing and delivering the highest quality product in a quick and efficient manner.

Alliances with a river port and trucking companies allow for rapid movement of grain. On any given day, over 50,000 bushels of corn can be harvested and, after drying, 30-35,000 bushels can be delivered daily. This combination allows O'Neall Bros. & Scholl, L.L.C. to be responsive to end users' demands.
