Raining here this morning. It's enough that there will be no bean planting to day.

Got about half done with beans. 200 acres to go.

How you guys coming along?

Gary

Three weeks ago drilled beans for the neighbor in some conventually tilled soil that drains well. They are up and looking good. Wish they were mine. Sprayed first pass RU on them yesterday. Started Monday on ours and finished yesterday. Monday it was a little wet and the notill drill was not closing very good. Might consider some type of closing wheel "spike" next year, but at $100-$160 each unit, will need to ponder the issue for than a couple of minutes. Yesterday with an additional 2-3 days drying, things went a lot better. It is raining and the radar claims 1/2 inch down with more coming. Perhaps this will "seal" the trench better in the earlier planted beans.

Ordered our beans with CruiserMaxx @ $8/bu because the original intent was to plant in late April so we could follow with early October wheat. The wet weather made that a non-starter. The neighbors were not treated.

Not as long as corn.

If we get them in the ground before June 5 or so they will be ok after that yields will really suffer.

After June 20 an early frost is a big issue.

Soybean is becoming popular in some parts of Manitoba (South of Winnipeg and Portage). They seem to have a VERY narrow time window to seed into ( May 20 to May 25). Frost worries at both ens of the season. Not grown in my area yet. They use the same spot in a rotation as canola, don't gross as much per acre but often net more.

Finished corn in the rain yesterday morning, last field where the cows were before they went to grass so it had to be disced a lot. Some people are done with beans here. We took time to make an 8-38 planter into a 10-30 during one of the rainy spells, but it spilled over into dry weather, one of those one day projects that turns into 4 days. Lee

Everythings planted but now we need rain to soften the crust on the corn so it can poke thru and the beans that were planted with tillage are sitting in dust. Getting very dry, starting to look like last year only earlier.

Finished corn on monday and started beans tuesday morning. Started planting this a.m. around 6:30 as the weatherman thought the rains would dissipate before they got to Waterloo. Got rained out at around 7:30 and already show .3 inch in the rain guage. It has been a beautiful rain, though. We are 95% finished with the beans with 48 acres left to plant. 3 more hours and it's done.

We still have 90 acres to plant. I was working at it last night but quit when I got to the freshly worked ground. Was worried that the rain would be heavy enough to make the already damp ground hard. I know its almost june but with this cool weather should we be planting beans? The seed man on monday was worried about the cool weather causing disease.

Yes it has been darn cold.

We need some hot sunshine to pull some of this corn out of the ground.

Looks like most are done with corn.

The corn around here is in and up but not doing a whole lot. On a more typical year its 8-12" by now.

Wheat is heading out and looking ok but the cool weather I am sure is hurting that too.

We have hay to cut too but rain and cool weather is putting the brakes on that.

Does anyone remember a summer like this in the early 90's. I remember wearing coveralls on the 4th of july that year but I was 16-17 yr old living back home in wisconsin then too. I don't think it was 93 cause that was the flood year and it was hot but a year before or after that.

Morning Gary. Nice to see the rain here (Perry). We finished beans a week ago today, but they have been slow coming. I bet with the rain now they will be right up. We were getting pretty dry. Trying to get some corn hauled and rocks picked up now. Hope you can be back in the field soon!
