Everything is planted, got the beans done about a half hour ago. Just popped open a brown bottle to celebrate. I rarely have a beer before supper but this is a special day. All of the seed is in moisture but we could use a good drink for sure. Three miles south of here they had 1 1/2" of rain the other night. we got .10". The beans are no tilled straight into the corn stalks. The guys who deep till and work the soil to death have no moisture to plant beans into if they missed the rain. I finished planting everything in the first week of may only one other time in my farming career of almost 50 years. Going back on the history of this land this is probably only the second time everything has been planted this early ever since this land was first farmed 150 years ago.
Next year I will farm only half as much land and that will be my last year of farming. My son will take over some of the land, the rest will be rented out. I started out with a Deere A pulling a four row plate planter and I am finishing up with a 12 row planter equipped with all of the modern frustrating headaches, I mean electronics and a tractor that steers itself. I think I have probably seen more change in the way we plant than our forefathers did when they switched from horses to tractors. Anyway, the world keeps changing and we have to change along with it whether we want to or not.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. 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
