Now there is a scary phrase! Had to consult Hank Kimball (county agent for the unsophisticated among us) this week for a little advice. He was all apologies about how hard it is to get in touch with him. Says he is going from farm to farm looking at fields because the hard rain two weeks ago, followed by snow and frost, had killed off entire fields. Got me to thinking about the big guy who used to rent my place and still rents the 100 acres across the road and the 50 acres next door. He was out there right before that big rain with his planter. Sure enough...nothing coming up in those fields that I can find. I haven't even seen him come by to walk it and look.
Now the reason I was consulting with Hank was because I decided last year that I would either have a good reliable planter in 2016...or not plant. Constant breakdowns, half the seed not planted...no more of that nonsense. So I spent a LOT of time this Spring working on the JD planter I bought last summer but now here I am end of May and still planting corn. Almost done and thanking the Lord I was not able to get out there sooner. Hank and the elevator both tell me the short season variety will come out fine AND the JD 7000 just hums along planting seed...nice planter! Just saying, though...that "field failure" comment is going to be in my head every Spring from here out.
