What you do not know is when the rain will come and how much you will get. Or when it will warm up. What you do know is you lose yield potential for every day you wait to plant after the first week in May. Corn seed is a lot tougher now than what it was 20 years ago or more. I don't see any risk in may planted seed rotting in the soil. It can lay there in cold soil three weeks without coming up and be OK. Three weeks from now will be pushing June. If the soil is too cold for the corn to come up by June you will have plenty of company because a whole lot of us will be in big trouble this year. I would plant but not as deep, maybe an inch and a half instead of two inches deep. At an inch and a half there will not be any moisture if you have plowed and worked it again but at least all of the seed will be dry instead of some in moisture and some not in moisture. If you go down deep maybe three inches to get the seed in moisture you will have it in soil that will stay cold longer. just some rambling thoughts. You are an old farmer you already know all this anyway.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
