| Still too wet here in the bottoms and more rain in store. May see it turn off too dry then will be scrambling to make anything grow. |

The BTO's are all burying seed as fast as they can around here . The BTO my brother used to work for planted over 800 acres of soybeans 2 weeks ago . They claim the earlier they plant beans the better they do . They are experimenting to see how early they can get away with . My brother heard they want to eventually try and plant and harvest 2 bean crops in a year . I think they are crazy with the price of beans . They believe with the available varieties it is feasible . I am sure a late frost or early frost will bite them before long . I asked my brother how is their ground dry enough ? He says they farm all over the state . They have dry ground somewhere . Google Dowson Farms ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |
