Planting again!



After a long hiatus, the planter is back in the field!  Quentin found one mostly dry field to start on this morning, and the sunshine and wind continue to help dry everything out.  There may be some low spots to avoid, but hopefully he can get a lot more corn in the ground!  Paul was out catching up on spraying before the wind came up and hopes to get another good day in tomorrow.  They are racing the next storm system, which is due here on Wednesday.  It may be a long couple days on the farm!

 

Meanwhile, the corn is growing well in the fields already planted.  It is struggling in the low areas, where water stood after the rains, but the rest of the field looks good.
