Things are going pretty good for the farm we completed corn planting Monday and got a start on Soybean planting on Tuesday. The new Spra Coupe is working out well so far and hopefully we can get beans in next week. My new phone has allowed me to make better videos check them out on the You Tube link.

Todd Easton Coles County June 5 2009: Progress continues all over Coles County in between rain outs. Spotty and variable showers have shortly stopped planters and then had them traveling back and forth across townships to find the dry fields. Even the most experienced farmer in the area can’t remember a year as adventurous as this one is shaping up to be. Corn planting has progressed to near complete for most areas and Soybean planting is getting a good start. Planted Corn is emerging rapidly in this warmer time of year and some of the earliest is approaching the V5 stage while some of the early Beans have come up also and are showing good stands outside of the ponds.
