I am sitting here at my desk, outside farmington IL this morning, looking out the window waiting for the rain to stop so I can go do chores. Radar says it is about to be done. As I look out the window I am staring at the field I would like to start planting in with some 104 day corn. In this 100 acre field there is about 30 acres of water standing this morning. Ideally we should be done with corn planting by now, instead, we havent done anything, I mean absolutley not turned a wheel, not even close. One time earlier this month we got within about 3 or 4 days of going to the field but it rained then too. The forecast is pretty discouraging this morning, Chance of rain everyday next week, every day! If it quits raining right now I think we are 7 to 10 nice days from trying to find a dry place so we could start. Wrigley and I are heading out to do chores and check on the rain guage. Hope you guys are having a little better spring than we are.
