Week of April 25th

Been a busy and productive week here in northern MI. We have continued to work ground for corn and beans. Our last load of soybean seed is due in the first part of the week. All our fertilizer for the hay ground is here and waiting for dryer weather. Our big sprayer in in Bear Lake waiting for dry ground for a customer of our application business. That means we will have to drag the trailer sprayer out of retirement. We are hoping to have corn out of the bag and into the ground by Friday.

Field work has progressed ahead. While we wait for mother nature to make up her mind we are plugging away on field work. We have about 100 acres of chisel plowing done for the corn and as soon as it warms up enough to spray the weeds with burn down we will continue. If all goes as planned there will be corn in the ground the end of next week. The winter wheat is greening up and growing nicely and the oats have all spiked through and growing good as well.

Week of April 4th

This has been a productive week. We have just about wrapped up getting the oats into the ground and should be done on Monday. Plans for the rest of the week include getting a head start on tillage for the corn as well as some of the soybean ground. We had a rain Saturday for the first time in a long time although it was only a small amount. More rain is forecast for the rest of the week. Fertilizer is expected to be delivered on Wednesday so it will be a busy week.
