Hello Beautiful


Every morning on my drive to work there are more fields of corn out of the ground than the morning before.

So far, the fields that I have been in look good for population. I am hearing some reports that corn planted the first week of April is needing some replants. Not sure of acres effected though.

No fields of soys up yet but this morning I checked a field planted Thursday May 3. The knuckle was 1/4" below the surface. They'll be popping out of the ground in a day or two.

The wheat is jumping with the temps and moisture that we are getting. Some fields are pushing the flag out. There is a little bit of powdery mildew found on the lower leaves and stems so keep an eye on your fields. Weed control is just wrapping up.

Last night, with a few hour window of dry-ish dirt, we got my Pioneer corn plot in. I'm excited to see how the plot does on our no-till ground. As we were putting it in, Wylie and his wife came out to see us. These guys have no fear!
