Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Me and my shadow kept up a slow steady pace. I don’t know about the turtle, but the Deere always seems to win the race.
Then my shadow quit for the day. The sunset and later a almost full moon rose that I didn’t get a picture of.

I planted till 11:45 and finished the field. Then after what seemed like a short nap I got back up and headed to my tractor again. I finished just before dark and it rained overnight.
I’m very grateful to have our beets planted now. Hopefully they grow into a good crop.
This morning I slept in till 7:30. I’m still a little drowsy but I put a few finishing touches on my firewood be watching for more pictures in the bow section when the weather is nicer for pictures.

Did some scouting today and the beets we planted on the 10th are up nice.
The ones we planted on the 24th and 25th are sprouted. Hopefully they will make it to
Moved planter back to shop. Switching it over to corn.
Still dripping around but not really wet. Thinking a few days without rain and should be good to plant corn

Been a busy week. Got herbicide on the rest of the wheat. Then it was time to terminate the rye. It’s to the stage where it is really growing fast. If I leave it much longer it will get very hard to deal with.
While I did that my brother and nephew got our planter switched over for corn. Also fixed a couple things I asked them to.
Went right from sprayer to planter again and started planting my son’s corn. Got 90.1 acres planted. Raining again today. Finished two of his fields. Still have two more to go. Would be nice to finish so we could switch planter over for soybeans.

PS here’s rye cover crop. Looks like me -n- my shadow aren’t the only ones out here.

My Jawage tree graft looks like it is ready for another year.
