by this weekend we should have everything except scouting done about time (may need to spray beans again in July)Todd Easton Coles County July 3 2009: I think I can safely say planting for 2009 is almost wrapped up. After a long wait for the wettest fields to dry out work resumed over the past week as planters, sprayers, and side dress applicators started catching up. The corn crop is looking good in the high ground and poor in the low spots. Maturity is extremely varied with fields ranging form V5 to V 15 and it is an odd sight when these fields are next to each other. Soybeans are ranging from V2 to just been planted in the wet fields and ponds the bean planters finished just in time to start planting double crop beans that will probably be in ahead of the forecasted weekend rain. Wheat harvest is also about wrapped up yields reported so far are in the 60 to 70 bushel range a bit better than I expected. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend and also finally being able to breathe a sigh of relief after this exceptionally stressful planting season.
