Everything is plowed. We got a good bit of it done Saturday at plow day, I finished the last of the sod yesterday. I could be ready to plant by tomorrow afternoon or Friday, but it's so doggone cold. No rain in the seven day, but lows around freezing, highs in the upper 50s. It's so dry, we had trouble getting the small plows in the ground Saturday, but the big ones went in alright and the chisel plow is taking care of what the small plows didn't get.

I started planting on June 6 that year, finished the last silage corn on July 8. As much as I hate the idea of planting in the cold ground, I don't want to be kicking myself while I'm planting in June again this year if things take a sudden turn.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
