Soybean planting!

The first soybeans went in the ground today (about 55 acres).  Quentin is trying a short season bean planted early to try and beat the dry August heat which we seem to run in to most years.  Most of the beans planted later will be longer season so they may be able to wait out the heat and mature later in the summer when rains typically start up again.  If only we had a crystal ball to let us know what the weather will do this summer...  I guess that's something for my Christmas wish list!
