Here in central IL things are still way way too wet. Many people still arent done planting believe it or not. Most of us could finish up in a day or so but we have been waiting for two weeks tomorrow for that day. Four inches of rain last week alone. This is our earliest corn it was planted on the may 17.
This is the last corn we planted, june 9th. It was planted in horrible conditions but has a good stand. I am a little concerned that it could see some near 100 temps this week.
We still have 100 acres of beans to plant. This picture was taken last thursday morning after the second rain storm of the week. We have had about a half inch since then. This is 80 of the 100 acres we have left to do. Out in the field near here is where the versitile and field cultivator were stuck the last time we tried to work here.
This field of corn has struggled from the start. Planted it in the mud and it has been soggy every since. Looks like there will be some bare spots and not much we can do about it.
There is only one drawback to farming on the prarie. No matter how fast the water comes it only goes away as fast as the field tile can get rid of it.
We got a pretty good storm last thursday in the early am. We recieved about 1.6 inches of rain and lots of wind and lightining so I went to check and make sure everything was ok with the cows in the pasture. This is the creek at a fairly normal flow, higher than normal but for this spring about average.
This was thursday morning and I could tell it had allready went down a couple of feet.
This tree looked to have taken a lightining strike.
We have been trying to get the hay up. We have only been able to get about 15 bales so far. Nick has nearly had the 3020 stuck with the mower conditioner and I had to skip some areas while raking today because I thought I was going to get the 3010 and rakes stuck. All in all we are gettting along. Never in my wildest dreams did I every thing we would be planting this time of the year. Everything is screwed up, nothing is on schedule and it gets a little worse everyday this drags on. Beans to plant, corn to spray, hay to cut and bale, wheat is turning, weeds to mow and it is so darn wet nothing much can go on. This is the most frustrating thing I have ever seen and there is no sign of it getting any better. bill

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
