We just started making dust on Sunday after I came home empty handed from a consignment auction 1/2 hour away. I made the 1st pass in the field that got seeded down then smoothed over 2 more feilds so we have a place to haul some manure. Dad and i saw the weather for tonight and he decided he should really try to get the oats on before the rain came so he hopped on the 1855 and did 2 more passes over the feild to get it nice and smooth for the haybine and baler. Then he went to get the alfalfa and red clover from the feed mill (we clean our own oats most years) and got going.  He finished up and got the drill in the shed around 2:00, before I left for work and it just started to drizzle on my way in around 2:30. Now at 1:00 AM its a pretty steady rain so hopefully the oats will shoot outta the ground. I know they love the cold damp a heckuva lot better than corn.
Had some corn sit in the ground for 2-3 weeks last year before it came up, then we had to replant about 1/2 of it. I think it's gonna be another 2 weeks before we try to plant any corn- farmer's almanac puts the best time for us around the 15th or so. Seems accurate enough, ussually about when we try to be stared any way. Too early like last year ('bout the 1st week of may) and we just get burnt. Donovan from Wisconsin
