Together, the three Joachim households farm around 15,000 acres, including about 4,200 acres of spring wheat “give or take.”
The Joachims had expected to start with spring wheat on Monday, March 29, 2021, but held back because of punishing winds blowing 40 mph-plus. As of April 5, they’d planted nine spring wheat quarters about 1,440 acres or about a third of what they expect to put in.
