I had already decided not to plant this year. So the rain is coming. Kinda like when I wash my car.

I'm going to be heading west shortly. Barring any equipment breakdowns, I'm hoping to get it all done tomorrow. I was planning on fertilizing Thursday morning, but the rain may beat me to it. I may just have to fertilize later.

We would need a Biblical flood for my plots to go under! My plots are all 300 feet above the adjoining bottomlands.

Well loaded up. Will be in the ground in the morning. If the weather people are wrong about this. I do believe I'll come up with new cuss words. We did have to set our drill 3 notches down to get it to the depth we need. Those that are working up ground I hope you have some heavy duty disc, bogs, or tillers.
Better check it often, the number one failure of seeds is planting to deep

We got ours loaded and calibrated. Aiming for 6 acres to be done in the morning. Luckily we noticed the drive shaft for the small seed box was loose - who knows how long that's been loose
. Chains have been lined and sprayed. Ready to go now. Will plant the rest next week
Liked to have never got all my plots broken up due to the hard/dry/ rocky ground but I did and got them seeded and covered. Bring on the rain.

Seeding all day tomorrow and burning down immediately after so hopefully a gully washer is less of an issue.
I didn't get around to spraying, but with the drought the field is pretty thin. I'm just going to broadcast wheat and crimson and mow it down low tomorrow after work and hope for the best.
I got one plot done this evening. I do still have 3 small plots to do but just can't get to them until Thursday morning. I'm hoping it'll off long enough.

Got 8 acres drilled today.
8 more to go, but may not have time to get it in if the rain starts Thurs at noon like some forecasts are showing

We do check it decent. But even if it's soft it'll just go 1.5 to a little more deep. It'll be good for wheat and oats.
Got 3 done today . 8 more to go.

Hopefully we will get what there calling for on the East side. If we would just get 1/2 inch I would be happy. We definitely aren't gonna get hit like those of you in the west end looks like

They keep pushing back the rain for us in the East. Hopefully it just doesn't disappear like the last one

Just broadcast another 30 lbs of forage oats, and hand spun about 4 lbs of mixed clovers on the plot I seeded a week and a half ago. May try to roll it with the little tractor after I pick up my son from school this afternoon, dunno.
