The generation ahead of me. A lot of men from around here sailed on the lake with the freighters. I had several uncles that did.
It rained .6” yesterday so nothing in the field.
I think we have a good stand of beets so I switched the planter to corn. I’m really not sure what I’m going to plant next. It might be soybeans but it’s easier to switch to corn and I would like to plant corn next if I can.
Take off all 18 row units and change plates and extractor.
I’m going to clean the fertilizer screens too.

Awhile back. On the leatherwall site they had a thread about planting trees for Jawge.
I tried something slightly different. Instead of planting a tree I tried grafting one. I tried grafting my dads apple tree to one of my thorn apple trees.
I still don’t know if it is going to survive, but it seems to be ok so far. Buds are starting to open up.

Graft looks like it took. I doubt a twig that size would have the energy to send out leaves if cambiums are not lined up. Nice job on that.
Raining at the moment so not in a big hurry to get out there but Ill be out mowing brush today. Bloom is basically over here. Starting to size fruit for thinning now. Took a few pics last week but things got busy.
