This is what harvest looks like when you've got a plan. 🌾

Drone's-eye view of a full grain storage system in action — combine feeding the cart, grain cart to the bagger, and a row of HITEC 10-mil bags holding the crop right there at the field.

When the bins are full and the elevator line is long, on-farm bag storage keeps the combines running and puts YOU in control of when you sell.

✅ Highest UV protection — built for a long storage season
✅ Exclusive cross-hatch design for strength
✅ Made to take the rigors of roll-up style unloaders

Store more. Sell on your timeline. Let's talk sizes before your bins fill up. 📞 Hood & Company: 417-865-2100

Now THAT'S scale. 👀

Steve Hood and Shad McGuire had the opportunity to visit a 40,000-acre operation this week — and the equipment lineup did not disappoint. A KELLY 4614 paired with a 600+ HP Case IH tractor, plus a row of four John Deere tractors staged and ready for harvest. The Neeralta unloader got an inspection to make sure it was ready to unload grain out of our HITECH grain bags. They even had a Kelly Tillage North America 60' machine (not pictured).

When you're farming this many acres, every pass has to count. That's exactly where a KELLY earns its place — residue management, moisture retention, and a clean seedbed, at a scale most people can't imagine.

Proud to be part of what these growers do. Here's to a safe, productive harvest. 🚜🌾

Transform your skid steer into a serious brush-clearing machine. 💪

The Major Cyclone Rotary Cutter mulches like a flail mower — with up to 50% less power. Four rotors and sixteen blades in a double-chop system mean no windrows and faster decomposition, at a full 110" cutting width (the widest skid-steer unit available).

✅ Strenx® 700 high-strength steel deck
✅ Hardox® 450 stump jumpers for rocky ground
✅ Fully galvanized — built to last
✅ Low maintenance, fewer wearing parts

Land clearance, fence lines, storm cleanup, orchards, CRP — it eats through the tough stuff.

Available through Hood & Company. Call us at 417-865-2100 to learn more or book a demo. 🚜

More bushels than bin space this fall? Read this. 👇

We've been distributing grain bags since 2007. After years of trials, we've come to one conclusion: HITEC grain bags are the winner in durability, performance, and value.

Bagging grain in the South is tough on a bag — the excessive heat at harvest demands more. That's exactly what the 10-mil thickness answers.

The most popular sizes are 10 ft, in 300', 400', and 500' lengths — and we carry other sizes too.

A few reasons farmers like them:
• Highest UV protection — they hold up to our sun
• Exclusive cross-hatch design for strength
• Built to take the rigors of roll-up style unloaders
• Keep the combines running
• Avoid paying monthly elevator fees

If you've got more bushels than bin space — or you want to store at the field and market on your own timeline — we are happy to discuss the best sizes and pricing. No pressure, just here to help.

Comment below, shoot us a message, or call the office at 417-865-2100.

Looking forward to meeting more of you this season.

🎉 Two decades strong. 🎉

This week Hood & Company celebrated 20 years of partnership with Kelly Tillage North America — pictured here, our own Steve Hood with Calvin Stead, Managing Director of KELLY.

And a special nod to Shane Kelly, who built and owned KELLY when this relationship began 20 years ago — the foundation he built is what we're still growing on today. Partnerships like this don't last two decades by accident. They last because both sides show up, do what they say, and genuinely care about the farmers we serve. Here's to the next twenty.

Twenty years of working shoulder-to-shoulder to bring farmers a smarter approach to tillage — better residue management, healthier soil, and a better tomorrow. We're grateful for the partnership, the friendship, and every farmer who's trusted us along the way.

Here's to the next 20. 🌱

Kelly Tillage North America Diamond Club swag is shipping out today! These packs are headed to KELLY Diamond Harrow owners across the country — a small thank-you to the farmers who make this company what it is.
The best part of getting them ready? The conversations. Just this week: a brand-new KELLY owner counting down the days to run his machine for the first time, and a farmer who said his old tillage tools never could've gotten him planted as fast as his KELLY did this spring — he had zero buyer's remorse.
Real farmers. Real results. That's the KELLY Diamond Club. 🌱
Proud to represent KELLY Tillage here at Hood & Company. 📞 417-865-2100

For years, the case for Kelly Tillage North America was simple: it saves you money — fewer passes, less fuel, less chemical, a better seedbed.
Now there's a second line on the ledger.
With conservation tillage tied to the 45Z credit, running a KELLY can also help earn a premium on your crop — an estimated $40 to $100 per acre, depending on your ethanol plant.
So a KELLY doesn't just pay for itself through operational savings anymore. It may now pay you back through premium crop income, too.
That's not just a tillage tool. That's an investment. Let's run your numbers: 417-865-2100.
