Oliverguy: You have a great start on a good crop. It is largely in the man upstairs hands now. It is amazing how much optimism farmers have in things working out well.
A well maintained finger pickup unit will still plant just as good as anything out on the market. IF you keep your planting speed down under 5 MPH, 4 1/2 is even better.
