September is one of the busiest, and most rewarding times, of the year in the Ohio Valley. Fields are ready for harvest, cooler temperatures are arriving, and hunting season is just around the corner. Whether you’re bringing in this year’s crop, preparing your property for deer season, or simply tackling fall projects around your farm, Marshall County Co-op is here to help.
As your locally-owned cooperative, we’re proud to provide the products, supplies, and knowledgeable service that helps our community prepare for a successful fall.
Harvest Season is Here
Months of hard work have led to this moment. Harvest is a demanding time that requires long hours, reliable equipment, and a focus on safety.
Before heading to the field, take a few minutes to check the essentials:
- Inspect tractors, combines, and trailers for any maintenance needs.
- Check tires, lights, hydraulic hoses, and fluid levels.
- Make sure safety equipment is in good condition.
- Keep work gloves, first aid supplies, flashlights, and fuel readily available.
- Have tarps and tie-downs on hand to protect loads during transport.
Harvest is also a great time to evaluate your fencing. Heavy equipment and livestock movement can take a toll on fence lines throughout the summer. Replacing damaged posts, tightening wire, and repairing gates now can save valuable time later this fall.
At Marshall County Co-op, you’ll find fencing materials, gates, posts, gloves, and many of the everyday supplies that help keep your operation running smoothly.
Protect the Crop You’ve Worked So Hard to Grow
Harvest doesn’t end when the crop leaves the field. Proper handling and storage are essential to preserving quality.
Remember to:
- Store crops in clean, dry storage areas.
- Monitor moisture levels to help prevent spoilage.
- Keep storage areas free from pests.
- Cover equipment and materials when necessary to protect them from changing weather conditions.
Taking a little extra care now can make a big difference in protecting the investment you’ve made throughout the growing season.
Get Ready for Hunting Season
As the leaves begin to change, many landowners are turning their attention to preparing hunting properties. A little work now can make your time outdoors safer, more enjoyable, and more productive.
Fall is an excellent time to:
- Clear trails and remove fallen limbs.
- Repair gates and entranceways.
- Replace broken fence posts or damaged fencing.
- Check tree stand access paths.
- Clean up around camps and cabins.
- Stock up on propane for heaters, grills, and camp cooking.
Whether you’re maintaining a hunting camp, or simply enjoying weekends outdoors with family and friends, having the right supplies on hand makes every trip easier.
Propane for Every Season
Don’t forget about propane as cooler weather approaches.
Marshall County Co-op offers propane for a variety of needs, including:
- Hunting camps
- Outdoor cooking
- Shop heaters
- Home heating
- Farm operations
- Portable propane cylinders
Filling your propane cylinders before the busy cold-weather season means you’ll be ready when temperatures begin to drop.
