Spring is coming cleared out some trees that fell into the field and picked some rock on the way to move the trees.

Also in a central Iowa business that can't be named vein, Google Sunterra farms, just got busted kiting millions of dollars of checks in both the US and Canada. 100,000 plus pigs on SoDak that are going to be finished by Compeer financial.
I would have linked but suck at linking. Sorry about that.

Solid business plan.

Federal crop day today in Iowa for corn. Will be interesting to see how many planters are rolling this weekend as I think there is a good chance to see a few guys going in NC to the east side of NC IA this weekend. Conditions seemed to be good while knocking down some ripped ground to pick up rock the other day.

Things will really pick up quickly by weekend in WC IA. A couple of the early birds were out yesterday sticking corn in. Lots of sprayers getting pre down this morning along highway 30 so the cultivators won't be far behind. It'll be full speed ahead by middle of next week if the forecast holds.

Talked to a guy from west of Humboldt, going to start beans today. Got seed delivered this morning, the driver said planters were going in a couple spots going north of Fairmont. Soil temps are a little too cold for corn. Add in some 30 plus degree nights next week, I would do beans over corn if I was to plant today. Have a safe spring.
Go Cyclones.

You get to pick rock also? I thought I was the only one that made that part of the spring plan.

Every year.... I'm under the impression that we grow just as good of rock crop every year as corn / beans. That or someone likes to fly over at night dropping rocks out of a plane.

For southern Iowa, northern Iowa is the 15th.

The skid loader and tine bucket is a big improvement from when it was us 3 kids picking and dad driving the loader for us to throw rocks in till we got the bucket full.

Saw a guy around 7:30a in the field this morning just south of Grimes but looked like he had only driven about 20 yards or so and was just sitting in the tractor so he may have just been dialing in his settings or actually planning to plant the field today. It's a field that is right next to his homestead so could just be getting the planter settings dialed in today but will have to remember to take notice if the field looks planted when I drive by on the way home tonight.

I like to start next to the neighbors, so in case the first round is a real sh$t show you might think it is not mine.
