We have corn planting pretty well in hand. Still have 285 acres to plant but we will wait for rain, hopefully in the next couple days, before we plant it. It had the NH3 applied this spring and we worked it early and that very warm windy weather did too good of a job drying it out. Am I saying its to dry, no, do we want a nice rain, yes. This is the fertilizer retailer we work with applying NH3 this spring. We have always done this in the fall ourselves but we are still dealing with repercusions from last year being too wet. The finished up on monday.
Nick joined the farm april first and has spent most of the spring disking corn stalks that were unworked last fall. Some will still go to corn other fields will be soybeans.
Anybody else still use one of these? They still work on beating up spring plowing as good as anything.
This is the field I started in on april 13th. It was the best field conditions I have planted into in the last 2 years. It has been a very nice spring for us so far.
Tools of the trade. My John Deere corn digger and a metal ruler.
After a couple of warm days I couldnt believe my eyes, it was dust, oh what a nice sight after two long years of dodging mud holes and rain drops.
The day I was working in this field the landowner stopped out to the farm and visited with me. He said when his forefathers got this farm from the government back in the 1830's there was a small camp of Potowattami indians still living right here in the point of this field. He said they grew corn in the creek bottom while his family farmed and lived up closer to the buildings. After three or fours years he said they moved on. Thought that was a neat story.
Wrigey works hard to as this picture shows him all tuckered out! He is sleeping right now since he got to run around in the pasture this afternoon while we were working on fence. Forgot to get pics of the pickup stuck in the mud today. Had to call cliff to come rescue us. Never a dull moment around here! I have some pics of the new calves I need to get posted. Think I may slip over to the sale barn tomorrow. Sure is nice to have a "normal" spring. Life is good on the farm. bill

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
