Well as we enter the halfway point for March any hopes of doing any fieldwork keep getting crushed. We did have warm weather this past week, but it also came with 1.3" of rain. This coming week does look warm and sunny with only a small chance of rain.
This week we will be fine tuning the corn planters, finish getting our seed and putting everything in place that we will need when we finally get in the field. Everyday we have a discussion of what our plans will be for different fields in regards to tillage. In a normal year we would just plant into our strips,but due to the wet fall we only have 80 acres of strips made. We are going to try and stick to our plan of planting mostly corn, but are ready to go to plan "B" and "C" if needed. A lot of important decisions will be made in the next couple of weeks and hopefully mother nature will make those easier that the past two years.
