After the coldest,wettest spring in a few years, things have finally warmed up, dried out and cooperated enough to fit some fields and get some crops in the ground here in the Maple River lowlands in central MI. We almost always plant the corn first, but due to just wanting to get things done, we are planting both crops at the same time, as soon as I have the fields ready. A few of the fields still have some wet spots that are still going to need some drying, but we are concentrating on getting the majority of the crops in first, then we will go back and air out the wet spots and drill soybeans in them. The first picture is taken from my yard looking across the road where my shop is at the field we finished this morning. The second picture is taken next to my shop of the same field. This field had not had a crop on it for 40 years, it was in CRP for much of that time. This year will be our 3Rd year farming it. It took A LOT of work to get it to this point. Good luck to you out there and hope you get the fair weather we have had the last week!
