I planted the last 5 acres of silage corn today! What a year. I planted the better part of 20 acres yesterday,filled in about 10 acres of wet spots Friday. I still had to plant around some wet spots yesterday. I was stuck with the disc and manure spreader both Tuesday,chained the disc out twice Thursday night,got stuck planting Friday and had to pull the tractor and planter out. It was quite a process getting that last 25 acres dry enough to get on it at all,but I'm calling it done. Got the planter cleaned up and took the monitor off the tractor. If it rains too hard and rots that seed in the ground now,my head's gonna explode!

Glad to see you got a break to finish, is this the latest you ever got finished? I don"t want to jinx it but this is the best year out of the last 15 for me, corn was planted a little late but when the hot weather finally hit we have averaged a good rain every 6-8 days and it took off, probaly bag it in late July, a week or so later than normal.

Glad that's out of your hair! Just saw your post about the 1850 clutch. Man, you have a great year going!

Just curious, what do you run for a planter? I dug enough mud out of my 7000 without getting stuck that I'm trying real hard to see how a guy could keep planting with it that wet.....I finished planting beans today.

Very good, Randy. I finely was able to replant the drownded out holes in my corn Saturday. I'm sure come harvest it wont be as dry as the rest, but it should keep the weeds down.
We're gonna spray some manganese on some of the yellow spots in the corn today to see if it helps.

That last 25 acres that I just finished went in July 8th about 30 years ago.

As far as the rest of it,yes,this is the latest ever for me. It's just unbelievable how saturated this ground is. It's just the dictionary definition of the word,simple as that.

Ya,that darned clutch was slipping a little when I was puling the field cultivator with it getting oats in while the clutch was out of the 2-135. She's finally getting about gone.

I tell the wife I think it's got something to do with the number 13 in 2013.

I'm running an Allis Chalmers 333 No-Til Special. The only time I plugged it was when I backed out in to a hole and a wheel sank and pushed mud in to it.

Ya,it's gonna be a mess at harvest for sure. I planted a shorter maturity variety where I filled in the holes in the picking corn. The silage corn where I filled in was only six days behind when the rest went in,so I guess I can live with that.
