Well kruser wanted to know if I was going to have to hoe hoe hoe my corn, well no, I was planting beans when that storm came up monday afternoon. We got between 1.5 and 2 inches of rain in about 30 minutes.
We havent been able to finish planting corn, still have 80 to plant but it was way to wet to even try monday so we started on beans.
Took some pics of others guys planting corn sunday afternoon and monday.
With the rain and the delay in planting again, today I started getting things ready to mow and bale hay. Baler looks nice all freshly washed.
The 4520, pressed into service because everything else is still committed to getting the crops in.
The 3020, still a mess from taking care of the cattle in the mud.
I have spent a fair amount of time running around checking the crops. So far, even with planting in much less than ideal conditions and continued wet weather, the crops look very good all things considered.
Bought this 4 wheeler at an auction last weekend. Seemed like between running around looking at crops and and checking cows we needed a third four wheeler. So far it is working out nice, 5 years old and 350 miles so it hasnt seen much use. I sure hope everyone else is getting along better than we are here. Everything is a battle. When it gets almost dry enough to really do something we get 1 or 2 inches of rain. We have unplanted corn that is getting critical, beans to plant, hay needs cut and baled, never did get the manure hauled and the earlier planted corn needs sprayed now. I dont remember planting this late and hope not to have to do it ever again. It is very wet still today and rain is in the forecast saturday, sunday and monday so if we can do anything at all this week it may be pretty touch and go but I hear there are folks south of us here in IL who are worse off than we are. I hate to think about that. bill

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
