Nice pictures. I always enjoy seeing fields planted. Your earlier post about how deep to plant reminded me of a story my Dad told of a relative who took over a farm in the Oklahoma panhandle. It was really just pretty much a sand dune. The old timer who had lived there many years said the way to grow wheat on it was to have the field all ready to plant, have the drill filled with seed, have the tractor fueled up and checked over, hooked to the drill and ready to go. Then whenever it would start to rain go out in the rain and start dilling and don't stop until you were done. It turns out that you had to get that jump on getting it up to hold the sand from blowing. If you waited a day or two after the rain the wheat wouldn't get up enough to hold the sand with it dried out.
