It looks like Sennica is running the Montgomery plant. I’m not sure I’ve ever been past there.
Go past the Glencoe plant often enough.
Of course Del Monte is the big deal by me, employs half of Sleepy Eye for half the year.
In my small neighborhood we don’t see many cannning crops. We have these rolling hills, the tops can dry out with shallow gavel veins, and the bottoms are deep heavy clayish gumbo peat type stuff never dries out. Ph is 7 to 8 mostly which can be a drag on canning crops as well. The varability of soil does not lead to an even, smooth canning crop harvest. We do well with field corn, very well, and we do ok with a defensive soybean. Frost is the great equalizer for those crops and we can go harvest. With canning crops, you would need to harvest by hand like a farmers market, and pick the few 100 square feet that got ripe today, repeat again in the next 48 hours....
We tiled a 41 acre field of mine a few years ago, it had so much short crop on the hilltops and so much drownout on the bottoms. I looked at google overhead maps, and counted 14 lighter hilltops, with seams of heavy wet stuff in between. Again, on only 41 acres.
It’s great ground mostly, but it’s kimda special getting a decent crop out of this stuff. Perhaps every 5 years or so someone tries some sweet corn or peas in a field, then the canning co rembers why they don’t come here......

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
