Lots of Miles

Went to Pittsfield Friday to help a new consultant with her zone maps.  Pike County Terrain is very rugged for Illinois.  It was a misty morning, but on my way home there were a lot of planters in the field.  Statistically, Illinois Farmers can put in about 5% of their corn in a day.  With long days, it is possible to plant even more.  I think there may have been enough planters in the field to plant 5% in our area. 

In the evening we went to Dekalb to help my son move.  Activity was limited by the time we got to Lincoln because of wetness.  I did not see any corn planted.  There were a few people working on drainage projects.
