Plant 2023 has come and gone...

It has been a while since I've updated our blog. Time sure does fly with two active kiddos. Planting for us started on March 30th and ended on Friday, May 5th. It was a fairly easy planting season with plenty of open windows to plant into dry soil, but the temperature extremes were the toughest for us to make decisions around. We planted soybeans from March 30th up to Easter and then we switched over to corn the week after while it was an unseasonably 80+ degrees. That was our first window of corn planting and we did not resume planting corn until April 27th. We did finish planting our soybeans in the time in between, but we wanted the ground to get a little warmer for the corn so we waited. by the time we finished planting, we were in need of a good rain as our geography was then extremely dry with no rain for the previous four weeks. Since then we have received 5-8" of rainfall and are now looking for a nice two week window so we can spray corn and get the weeds under control. I know, I know...farmers are never happy with the weather. What can I say? 

Below are a few pictures of one of our planters. I'll try to do a better job of keeping the blog updated going forward. Be well everyone!
