3 Days

Mark-Mi · May 20, 2018

Three days(April 30,May 1 and May 2). Three days this entire spring is all that the ground has been dry enough for me to plant here in SE Michigan. Many have zero acres planted.

How about you?

We were dry up here in Mid Michigan. I got my oats in by April 30,then started right in working corn ground. I don't like to plant before Mothers Day. Seems like nine times out of ten,the ground is either too cold,or we get a driving rain and the ground crusts. This year I was starting to think I made a huge mistake waiting. I sat on my hands for two weeks,then Friday before Mothers Day the rain started. It rained Friday,then again Saturday night. We didn't get anywhere near what they got just to the south. I was planting corn Monday.

Then it rained again overnight Monday,but the bulk of it missed me again. I got just shy of .4 that time. I was on some sand planting again Wednesday. I finished the grain corn Thursday and started silage corn Friday. The way it was going I thought I could be done by Tuesday night,but it rained Friday night and yesterday. I got close to 2 inches. I won't be on that last 23 acres before Thursday at the earliest. It might even be a week before I can get back at it. It's rare that I get that ground planted before Memorial Day,but it was looking like this year might be different. Guess not.

In south central Indiana right now it is terribly dry. The few showers we have gotten this week haven?t been enough to knock the dust down. Got one field of beans left. I can?t remember a spring I was praying to get rained out

I notilled my corn in. Been over all the rest of my ground once and some twice. But it's been raining since.

We are drowning down here in SW MI, another 4 inches in three days this week. Neighbors had crop dusters apply first spray to grapes, I'd need a pontoon boat to pull the sprayer through mine. My buddy, 30 miles east, is done with field corn and made good progress with beans. All the corn is up as are the beans from 5/8-9. Quite sandy over there as compared to right here by the Lake. Hay looks great, might be July before it gets warm enough to dry it down.

I'm my part of south central Indiana is either a lot or none. I did get 3 tenths at home yesterday. My fields west and south of me have had between 2 and 3 inches in the past week.

I baled winter peas/Jumbo rye first week of April. Had summer SS hay crop in the ground the 19th which is up around 10". "Mother Nature" has been a good girl for me this year......most unusual.

Got some oats planted and up. Corn is in and up. No beans yet. Got lots of people locally that have not got much done yet. Been raining by the inch each time it rains. 3 separate rains were all an inch each in about 10 days and 3 days apart.
