5/12/14: Spring Progess!

Spring planting is near completion!  The past few weeks have provided ideal growing conditions for crops… warm weather and rainfall is a wonderful combination.  All our corn can be “rowed” in the field, and the plant stand and color is good.  Saturday night, we recieved 1.25″ of rain in the Macon/Christian County area… the location of our remaining 250 acres of soybeans to plant.  The rainfall was welcomed with open arms.
