Todd Easton Coles County May 22 2009: Back in the fields again this week after almost a week break that we didn’t want to take. So far I would say we are working toward 20% of the Corn in the ground and maybe 2-3% of the Soybeans. Work started back up on Tuesday when a large amount of Rotary Hoe’s that haven’t seen daylight in years came out in full force to try and save what got planted last week. With the heat on our side I think most will succeed in getting that corn up. Wednesday many of the Field Cultivators got started back up and Corn Planters started following them on Thursday. Although many are going ahead almost everybody is admitting that we are pushing the workability of the ground as much as we possibly can but with the time of the year and the weekend forecast not on our side what do you do. As a friend of mine once said sometimes you have to compromise your standards to better your average. Once again stay safe and even though you will probably get this after Monday take time to think of those who sacrificed so much for our freedom
