Well the oak leaves here have popped and are now the size of a squirrils ear, so out came the disk,drags and corn planter. Got 5 acres in with 4 more to go...hope the rain holds off till little later this afternoon. Clover i put in 2 weeks ago is germinating nicely. I guess the plots are in full swing now....

Nice G-man. Oaks are still in bud stage. I did get the soil ready to plant this weekend but wasn't able to plant my corn. I have a JD 1240 planter that needs new fingers on two planters. Looks like memorial day I will get the corn and beans in. What kind of planter you using?

Nice work G-man. Wish i could say i was as ahead of the game as you seem to be.. The three W's (work, weather, and wife) have put me a bit behind schedule on a plot i've got going in for a fellow in Honeoye Falls(8h). Did manage to work some dirt this weekend but looks like rain is gonna be here a few days. Looks like you nailed your timing..
