Schlegel Farms, Hagerstown Indiana | I finished planting four times this year...a new record.
Drove over a couple hundred acres of corn (planted 8-9-10 of May) and spotted in corn on the 30-31 of May. It all looks good now (stand)... but... I will be needing several "Short People" to get it knee high by the fourth!!
All the April corn looks great.
Replanted 25 acres of beans today that were planted on the 8th of May. They were pretty "iffie"...then the last storm that went through had enough hail to make my mind up on the replant. The field was still a little wet, but they have rain in Saturdays forecast again.
I've been farming on my own since 1972, and this is, with out a doubt, the worst start I've ever had.
