Right or wrong Corn is planted

Finished corn yesterday morning. A little more to get spray on this AM.

Great planting conditions but with the cold wet weather coming ????

Guess we will know in a couple of weeks how it works out.

Not starting beans till this rainy week is done.

Lot of folks finished Orwell over half up this way in southern Mn. Now we have a real cold and dreary and wet week, see water sitting on some rows.

There is a brief period after corn is planted if it sucks up cold rain water it is hard on it, few folks are kinda nervous now.

Likely works out, but the timing of planting it and right away a cold cold rain can be bad. As well as water sitting on it for so long in some spots.

I just barely got started, maybe 2% planted is all. Wish it was more, but as the cold wet weather continues I might feel better about waiting a bit.....

I heard they are working on a planter that will put the point of the seed down.

Sounds far fetched but who knows.

My dealer still doesn't have 2/3 of my seed in, has been paid for since October.

Normal start date here isn't till May 1, I was mildly annoyed when I went in to check on it yesterday, fairly POed by the time I walked out having had an earful of excuses. Ranging form blaming it on the supplier, to an early spring, to indirectly insinuating I wasn't important to them(I commented that they had received only 1 truckload of seed, and was informed that LOTS of seed had already been delivered to customers).
