The clouds were hanging around yesterday morning, but the sun came out around 11am. Quentin and Paul tried the beans early afternoon, but the moisture was too high. Instead, they switched to planting rye cover crop on some of the old corn ground. They tried again around 5pm and were able to cut for a couple hours before the moisture settled back in. The sun is out this morning, and they hope to get an earlier start today.
The earlier planted cover crops are doing well. Quentin is harvesting the soybeans on which they had an airplane fly on the cover earlier in October. With the warm fall, the cover is doing almost too well. Quentin said the rye is tall enough to interfere with the harvesting a bit. They run the combine header so low with soybeans that the rye is getting a little trim.
