Farmer in the drought

Brian Scott farms with his father and grandfather on acres of land in northwest Indiana. They grow corn, soybeans, popcorn, and wheat and he blogs about it at The Farmers Life.

As we seeded our corn, soybeans, and popcorn on our Indiana farm this spring there were many reasons to think that we would harvest a fantastic crop this fall To start we had a new John Deere planter equipped to help us plant with greater efficiency and accuracy than ever before. Then March came with tThe belt consists of one or more layers of material. They can be made out of rubber.

In a normal year we might start planting around the middle of April. This year we began on March . A March planting date for corn and soybeans is all but unheard of in Northern Indiana, but with daily high temps pushingdegrees instead of more typical mid field conditions were right.

We talked about the risk of an April frost damaging young plants. In the end, we decided to go ahead with field work thinking we would have a head start when the rains came and pushed us out of the field.Male Bobbleheads can change an outfit in amazing ways.

In fact, we stopped planting for five or six days to wait for chances of rain to develop.

To stop planting because we'd like to see more moisture in the soil to aid germination is a strange thing for us. Usually we are waiting for fields to dry out so we can plant in the right conditions. But at the time, waiting for rain was not a big deal. Planting was still two to three weeks ahead of schedule, and with our new, wider planter we were covering acres per hour more than last year. No need to get in a big hurry. It was best to wait for conditions to improve.
