Planting marathon

The planting marathon continues!  Quentin has been planting over 24 hours straight and is making great progress.  He finished on Chambers' and Street's, and he stopped by to fuel up and grab some snacks early this morning before heading over to do Steeby's.  If all goes well, he should finish that up easily today.  Then, he only has a couple fields of Paul's remaining.  We'll see how far he gets before he falls asleep or gets rained out.  There is a chance of storms tonight and a bigger chance starting tomorrow afternoon.

Paul has been spraying bean ground and is now doing corn ground after the planter.  If the wind stays down, he'll be able to cover quite a few acres today.  Between the morning dews and the midday winds, sometimes spraying days get short.  Luckily, he can go a lot faster than the planter!

Better than bags!  Some of the corn can be brought in bulk to the planter.  It beats hauling bags up and down the ladder.
