Planted some corn this weekend

Pretty early for us, but it is dryer than it ever got last year and the weather was good so I planted some of my corn. Had about 1/3 of my acres fall plowed which is by far the best, but rain just wouldn't let me get it done. So started with plowing the dryer corn stalks down on Friday.

Saturday my grandson Randell who is 11 wanted to learn to drive, so he came over and drove the 830 on the disc. This is his first solo run.

Today we were able to work together in the same field with the 1030 on the cultivator and the 830 discing again.

Since the 400 is down for more repairs I put the 830 on the planter this year.

The fall plowed stuff worked up excellent, the spring plowed is a bit lumpy but not too bad. The rest will have to be plowed too but still had some wet spots in it so I'll wait to see if it dries. Planting in April is not the norm for us here. But supposed to get a little rain in Tuesday so that will help with the lumpy ground. If it's not too much rain I'll likely plant the rest of the corn next weekend.
 
Looks great. I finished corn on Sat. and planted beans to midnight. I wish my land would lay better so I could plow more but then you have wet spots to work with that we have little of. Tom
 
Good to see you getting some corn in Jon. People have been going like crazy around here. Last year we could not find a dry field, this year we can't find a wet one. Most are done with corn and beans going in now. Rod.
