It rained out the planters last night just after dark.  It has been a good rain, not heavy, about .4″ (10mm).  So, today, we are analyzing the information captured by the FieldView and FieldView Beta.  We have discovered some gaps in the ability of the Beta version (in the soybean planter) that they tell me will be addressed soon.  One solution that they have recommended is for them to send an engineer here to directly observe what we are experiencing.   The FV in the corn planter seems to be working well.
