After the cold nights of Tuesday (with snow!) and Wednesday, the weather is trending warmer.  Highs in the low 80s are predicted early next week.  I guess if you don’t like the weather, just wait a bit, and it’ll change for sure.

Monday’s sunrise…

Monday’s sunset.

We are returning slowly to the fields to  plant, as the soils dry out and are ready for us.  I need 2-3 days to finish the soybean planting.  Ross may finish corn today, but he will have to return in a week or two to plant some acres at the Freddie farm that he must drive around today.  Those are just too muddy today, but will dry soon.

I planted at the Crook farm yesterday, south of Wheatland.  The seed went into the ground pretty nicely.

We are making progress on #plant21, and we are grateful that the bulk of our planting looks like it could be accomplished in April.

I checked the earliest-planted soybeans, and they are just about to emerge from the soil!

Scrape away a thin layer of soil to find these soybeans are nearly out in the sunshine!

#plant21 is moving along.
