Despite sporadic showers yesterday we were able to keep planting. Due to the light rains, we decided to switch out one of the smooth closing wheels with a larger spiked closing wheel on Dad's planter. This spiked wheel helps close the furrow in areas where the soil is a little wet. It also helps shatter any possible side-wall compaction.
Bob also started planting on the Robinson 80 yesterday afternoon. Amazingly, the raised strips of soil were much drier than the ground we worked a month ago. The rain set in for good late afternoon yesterday and hasn't stopped yet. The forecast looks promising for more planting later this week...
