From the Fields: Roll with the punches

This spring has been a challenge. We’re probably halfway there on corn planting. Full-season soybeans, those are all in the ground. Typically everything would be in the ground and out of the ground by this time of year. We are definitely several weeks behind.

Thankfully, we’ve been able to get stuff that’s absolutely necessary done. You’d like to have all the corn planted by now, but at least we got enough corn in the ground that we know we’re going to have feed for the coming year.

We got the hay put up. We were able to get all the manure knifed in, so we have manure storage now for the summer. You just have to roll with the punches.
