The old saying around here has always been--Plant in dust--your bins will bust.. Son got done planting today--was 90 degrees with a 45 mph SW wind. Lots of dust. Glad we are done---Tee

I was discing where I grew up--Mom has been gone for six years now but Her tulips live on!

She always dug the tulips every fall and dried them is the basement for she said they would do better--now when they are done blooming they get mowed off but hey still come back pretty--Go figure
 
Big Tee. Great photos..... All of them. I love your old home place. Clean living for sure. Beautiful tulips. Wingnut
 
Pretty tulips . Is there moisture in the ground ? The top is dry here but a lot of moisture down a few inches
 
Hope you get the rain you need later. No dust here in South Central Ontario, rains every few days right now, snowed Friday and water puddles were all frozen over Saturday morning. That tulip bed looks beautiful! My mother was also a flower fancier, and had many different perennials. The bulbs are fine left out over winter, although rodents like squirrels will dig the and water them sometimes. My mother has been gone over 20 years, but her flowers still come alive each spring.
 
I finished yesterday and spent all day on a fender tractor with high winds and dust like your first pic.It blew hard enough that it kind of made it hard to really get your breath. Never have I planted so dry. Some of the notillers planting sod have parked their planters because of how hard the ground is. It was very hard to get good depth control as well. Time will tell what we get. Tom
 
Very dry here in mid western Ontario. We had only about 8 tenths of an inch all April. I have one sandy knoll in the corn field that dusted like that most of the day without any machinery on it! Friday and Saturday frost in the morning, soil moisture is adequate for sprouting but once it warms up.....

My wife has many flowers around here too, tulips are just starting to bloom, but the daffodils are past their peak.

It is supposed to rain Monday night--Rain makes grain?

I had a 12 row with dry on it--can be a real pain but on rented ground with a one year lease I think it works good.
 
Thanks--Mom said they had to be dug each Fall--We helped her the last years--She liked Her flowers--She put the flowers on the alter in church forever-Tee

There's a LOT of no-till planters out there that aren't really set up to work in extreme conditions... not enough down pressure, etc. That includes my new one. I put insecticide boxes on yesterday, and filled them with sand. That made up for some springs I need to add...

Tom I am planting no till into corn stalks with a 12 row planter here in dry NWIA. The seed is going into moist soil but I need all the down pressure the planter can muster up to keep a good seed depth. The 4650 knows it has something hooked to the drawbar this spring. It is sucking fuel like I have never seen when planting. I doubt if a 4020 would pull it where in normal conditions a 4020 would pull it right along.
