Just got a phone call from Randy O., the guy who will pick my corn plots. We had a 1/2 inch of rain last night, so he can pick this afternoon, I will make a quick trip to the farm, and hopefully will get the new crop planted today or tomorrow.
More later, the old farmer

Update II.
Got the plots planted, we only had a trace at the farm, while 2 miles away, they had 1/2 inch of rain. Randy wouldn't pick the plot over by the lake, he didn't think there was enough left to bother, and the snow had really laid it down. I just disked it down, the ground was just yellow with ears, so the pheasants and deer shouldn't starve this summer. I had to find a different type of corn to plant, as last years corn was "roundup resistant", so I wouldn't be able to spray the volunteer corn with anything. They have another corn that is "liberty" resistant(a new chemical) so I will try that. I didn't have a chance to plant any sorghum strips, so there will be lots of high cover for the animals to hide in. later, the old farmer
Finally getting some rain in Minnesota. Whew! Hope the crops are doing well in SD.
Chris:
Do you think that you will have either vacation or comp time built up by thanksgiving time?

Yeah, I should be able to make it out at least for the long weekend. Not exactly sure how it all works yet. I'll find out next week!
