Worked southwestern Macoupin and eastern Jersey County. Over 200 acres I worked on today was planted. Every kind of spring field work you can think of was being done today. Everywhere you looked you could see machinery moving on the horizon or closer. I saw Nitrogen being applied. Soil finishing and disking going on. Planting. Spraying. Dry fertilizer being applied. Weather was lovely and promises to continue thru next Friday. The April 19 crop report will be very interesting.
Soil temperature was 46 degrees on bare ground. 44 in corn stalks. That is supposedly too cold to plant, but it should not be a problem because warmer weather is around the corner. Randy saw some corn emerged in Calhoun county yesterday. It was planted in sandy soils.
