March 8 ,2024

It’s a rainy day today… this will definitely push back the first day of spring field operations.  On our horizon, will be some smoothing work in a few fields with the field cultivator (dad called it a ‘scratcher’).   Also, we will begin the application of NH3 fertilizer to the ’24 corn fields.  The wheat will receive an application of herbicide and growth regulator, and soybean fields will begin to have their burn-down application of herbicide.  Yes, we are approaching a very busy spring field work season.  Still, it’s just March 8, and not concerning yet.  #plant24 is on the way.  2024 will be my 50th year to be a full-time farmer!

The tulip trees are budding out, spring is almost here!

Have a good weekend.
