I finally got started planting beans. I say finally, but we are usually not really rolling here until June. The weather has been perfect, though.
Anyway, I finally got rolling and got the kinks worked out with two nice days in the tractor. I felt like I was making something happen. Yesterday I looked at the forecast and it is supposed to rain every other day now for a week. They just keep raising the chances. Did I mention that the last hour I planted yesterday the air conditioner went out on the planting tractor? I'm just amazed that tractors built in the last 20 years only have about two windows that open enough to make you wish hurricane strength winds were blowing. I opened the door and ate so much dust it was insane. I kind of longed for the open station days when the dust could at least blow past you, not swirl in that steamy cab like flour in a crock pot.
Looks like I'll have a few days for mother Deere to come out and put a compressor on the planting tractor. I guess I did get 8000 hours out of the original.
