My son finished up the last of his black beans yesterday. We still have some to do for a couple neighbors but we are done with ours. So far it’s been the easiest edible bean harvest I can remember.
No rain days. At least nothing that amounted to anything.

My brother and I started planting wheat. He has been working at fall tillage working the clover cover crop up. We normally would have left it longer but it’s so dry it hasn’t been growing anyway. He has chemo and radiation next month five days a week so we are going to be missing him then. Might as well get as much done as we can now. We decided to terminate the clover. Spread rye for a winter cover and do our tillage.

I was thinking about no till wheat and letting him stay at fall tillage. I tried about 21 acres but decided to have him work it ahead.

I have a little moisture. Not much. Hopefully I can get this wheat up and it’s gets enough rain to keep it alive. We are still very dry

Well here’s something I haven’t had in a while. A rain day

Started planting wheat this morning and the sky was looking a little like rain.

The tractor my brother is doing the tillage with is our newest tractor and the one that makes the most trouble.

I’m sure it’s just another sensor, but it just decided it wasn’t going to move and stopped right under the windmill.

My nephew had to help him pull it out of the field.

They know more than got it to the buildings and I got seed wagon and grain drill inside and it started raining.

Really spotty but we got .7” here so that’s good. Wish it was all planted now. It’s okay though. It’s early yet.

bjrogg:
If you look at the base of the windmill you can see my brother in his tractor. Gives you a little idea how big these mills are.

bjrogg:
Tractor towed to the yard. Sitting in the rain
