I did finish up planting sugar beets. I planted into a lot of residue from the still living rye. At times I even thought this is crazy . I can’t plant into this mess, but then I would get off the tractor and scratch the ground like an archeologist looking for my seed. It was always right where I wanted it. I feel pretty good about it and hopefully we get a good stand
We didn’t get the rain they were predicting. I’m glad I planted them deep enough to be in good moisture. Especially the way the wind has been blowing. It can dry down before the beets germinate or worse yet . After they germinate but before they get a good root system.
I would like to see it warm up a little bit before I plant any corn. Still pretty chilly here.
While I was planting the guys got the six axle frame sandblasted and replaced the poor metal they cut out. Still a few things to do but getting close to ready for paint.
