It was so calm. The lake was as flat as it gets. It was perfectly quiet. Isn’t that way very often

This is why I like to get our sugar beets planted in April if the ground is dry enough.
The first picture is of a field planted in May. First it got to dry and some of the beets didn’t germinate. Then it rained and some more came but not a great stand and very far behind.

The next picture is of our beets planted in April. It took three weeks for them to come up, but when they did they came up really nice. I planted this field without any tillage this spring. Right into a live rye cover crop.

PS glad the first pic isn’t my field

This is what the field looked like when I sprayed it. We got a lot out of this rye, yet it wasn’t to much that it hurt the beets. Now the worms are taking it under ground and building up our soil.
