Forty acres at a time. That seems to be the planting motto this year. Constant rain showers have been putting a damper on a consistent run. However, some corn and beans have both been put in. Some corn has emerged. Storms last week produced minimal to substantial rainfall. We did see some planters start up Sunday afternoon (April 19) while others, just a mile or two away, were waiting for the puddles to dry up. Wheat and rye are very lush and healthy but soon will look for drier conditions themselves. Pastures and hayfields look bountiful.
