Well, we got the planters rolling yesterday.  Brandon had a good day with the corn planter…not one problem, and I had a good day with the soybean planter.  Had 3 secondary  air hoses pop off, but those were quick fixes.  Soil conditions were not perfect, but very, very good.   All in all, a very good first day for me, and second day for Brandon.  John was busy with the sprayer, applying burndown herbicide to soybean fields.  He worked the weekend, and got almost all the corn acres sprayed.

Got the JD 550 drill and air cart hooked up yesterday morning, and then filled cart with soybean seed.

The view from the tractor as I plant soybeans at the Lett farm yesterday.  The new tractor is terrific!

We will be out again today, but rain is predicted for the afternoon.  We will see what the day brings, but it really feels good to get started.
