White River, Post-flood replant
Tuesday evening, May 30, 2017 Replanting. The planters were out in full force today. All the neighbors were in sight across the White River flood plain fields. There were 10 planters of all sizes (mostly big ones!) that I could … Continue reading

Caught up to the river
Tuesday, May 23, 2017 This morning, I was able to do the replant at the Burke farm, where the heavy rains had drowned the soybeans. At one time we thought we’d need to replant the entire farm location, but today … Continue reading
Yes and No
Monday May 22, 2017 When someone asks if we’re working in the fields, the answer today is “Yes and No.” Yes, John is able to be spraying in the corn crop today, but no, we are not able to replant. … Continue reading

Another pause to #plant17
Thursday, May 11, 2017 Yes, it did it again! Overnight, we received 1.9″ of rain, and by this afternoon, the rainfall totaled 2.2″ today (56mm). The WASCoBs were filled again, but most have drained out by afternoon. Field work is stopped … Continue reading
Back at it
Wednesday, May 10, 2017 It is now exactly one month to the day from when #plant17 began. The corn planting wrapped up in 10 days. On April 28, I was 1.5 days away from being done with soybean planting. Then … Continue reading

Sunny Monday
May 8, 2017 The sun is out this morning, even if the day started a bit cool (42F, 6C). We filled the soybean drill, and then went to look for a patch dry enough to use it. We toured the … Continue reading
