Planting began yesterday.  I got the soybean planter home and got it prepared and Philip helped me load the beans into it.  So, in the afternoon, I was able to begin and I planted the ‘mailbox field’ here at home.  It went in very well.  Ross prepared his planter and seed cart yesterday, and today Brad is coming from JL Poseyville to assist Ross with start-up…it’s a new machine with some new features that need some expertise for set-up. 

It’s a good feeling to plant early.
