Jack's Planting Progress

I am all done now corn and beans except for about 4 acres of soil too wet to plant for maybe another week....things look pretty good considering....


34 acres of corn now out of the bags and into the ground...61 very wet acres to go...

75 acres of beans also waiting on dry conditions

Todays big rain that seems to want to continue for the next few days have put all planting on hold until we get dried out....back to tile work for me...

Today May 22 I got another 38 acres planted...it went in nice...hopefully will finish the rest of the 23 acres of corn tomorrow...Then I will try and zip in the 75 acres of beans Sunday and then decide if I want to replant that first 35 acres that is struggling to come through the crusted soil...

Now you just have to worry about the seeds rotting in the ground. Gads. We have had 2" of rain since last November and it isn't looking real good for this week. Rainy season supposedly starts in 2 weeks so we'll be delighted when it does. Our $250+/mo water bills are getting pretty annoying.
