Quentin is back in the field for the first time in weeks! Spring must surely be right around the corner. Today, the men started spreading some fertilizer over the top of fields. Quentin did not want to try to run everything through the strip-till applicator this year. Too much fertilizer directly in the root zone can cause some problems, and the applicator can only handle so much dry fertilizer before it plugs up. Therefore, they decided throwing some out over the top this spring would be the best option. Many of the fields we had soil sampled this year also called for lime applications. We are expecting lime delivery soon and will have that spread over the top early this spring as well. As soon as the ground dries out more, Quentin will have the strip-till rig out, too. Lots to do! We will see how much ground he can cover before the next rain comes through. I think there is a chance for more moisture by the weekend.
