We were finally able to get back into the field earlier in the week. Our spring fertilizer was applied, we were able to get our preplant 32% applied and begin fieldwork ahead of planting. I received 1.11 inches of rain on Thursday night and another 0.96 of an inch Sunday night into Monday with more expected. We did look at planting some corn Sunday afternoon ahead of the rain, but the conditions were still a little too wet, and I was worried about sidewall compaction in the seed trench. Neighbors began planting both corn and soybeans in the area earlier in the week. When conditions are fit after today's rain we will be hitting it hard.
