It has been a year of firsts and today was no different. The forecast was for a warm sunny day, it never came. With one field of corn still to plant and the weathermen saying a chance of rain on 8 of the next 10 days it was now or never.

This ground was worked on saturday evening and had about a two tenths of an inch shower sunday at daylight and a half inch of rain on it about 3 am monday. It wasnt dry as you can tell but on the 9th of June my standards for dry enough are a little different than they were a month ago. It wasnt pretty but it is done.

This leaves a 80 of beans to plant conventionally and another 25 of beans to no-till. My friend travis was helping us work the 80. I sent him to do it without going to look at it and it was too wet. He hit a wet spot and when he raised the culitvator the lift bracket ripped off the cultivator and sunk the culitvator into the ground leaving the tractor stuck in the mud and the culitvator broken He called and told me I told him just to get ahold of cliff I was not going to stop planting. When I got done planting I went and had a look.

They ended up getting the local welding shop guy to come fix the cultivator. He spent about an hour welding it up good as new and cliff drove it out of the hole about 8pm tonight. We did get to finish the corn and that seems like a big relief at this point. The forecast is rain rain rain. A neighbor stopped last night and has given up planting some fields that should have been planted to corn and is going to take the crop insurance money and leave some ground idle. Yesterday on the radio they said that we have had the wetest spring in history here. Three inches more rain than ever before. All things considered we are doing ok but it sure is a struggle!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
