They call it farming

I know the feeling. I was holding off until after Mothers Day to plant corn while everybody else was hitting it hard. It rained Friday and Saturday,missed us by a few miles this morning,but it's in the forecast again for tonight. I'm not feeling so smart right now.
 
Neighborhood air show yesterday as our BTO neighbor had two planes applying the first spray to their grapes- those guys are something to watch. Since then, we've gotten nearly three more inches of rain. No rush for me to pull my sprayer our of the barn.
 
Heading off for an evening of farm management consultation with my buddy at the local watering hole in a few minutes. He already has all his field corn planted on the sand hills east of here- one 360 acre irrigated field. Beans were to start last Saturday, then seed corn and vegetables. I'm sure the replant topic will be broached, along with many others.
 
Been wet and cold here, everyone is getting pretty edgy. Was 20% chance of rain last evening for today, rained lightly for 6 hours. Blah. Fields weren't really right yet without the rain.

Update from the "meeting"- conditions were right during the last of the corn planting to start on beans with the 15 inch planter, and the conversion from corn to beans went well. They got about 150 acres of beans in that day and the next before the rains came in. Our local MSU weather station shows 3.94 inches on the 14th and already 1.5 more today.

At least first cutting looks to be strong, assuming we don't need pontoon boats to pull the baler!
