    Almost ready but calling rain in a day. Have a good day.

    About 35% planted of corn planted. Weather says rain today. Overnight maybe a tenth of an inch. Dry as a popcorn fart here, huge clouds of dust visible for miles around every tractor in the field. After all the disappointments in the last four years weather forecasters have called wrong, I do not trust forecasts, only actual rain. Fingers crossed we get some today.
  • Lacrosse WI planted corn Saturday Sunday and Monday 10 acres left total but needed somewhere to go with pen pack once we kick our beef cows out on pasture.
  • We are hot and dry here in Colorado…It won’t be long guys will start planting, most of the dirt is worked.
