Was able to get the rye baled yesterday. I would have liked to have another day for 100% sure dry down but Mother nature was not going to give us that. There where just a few bales from the real rank spots that maybe a little too high in moisture. I could tell when I was moving them as they where heavier. So I set them aside. I will just feed them up in the next few days.
We mowed the rye Tuesday and then tedded it Wed. morning. It looks real good in the bale. We got 31 bales off the 12 acres. So it did pretty good for as cool of spring we have had.
Oldest was running the baler while I moved the bales off the fields. The middle son ran the planter. We just no-tilled the beans and corn both into the stubble. It is rare that I can no-till anything. I usually have manure to work in. The ground was real mellow so it planted great. There was 5.8 acres of corn in the bottom field and a little over 6 acres of beans on the two strips. The best part is we are now ALL DONE!!!!
I just planted rye on about a third of the corn ground we chopped. The other is in a rented field that is real flat and it gets covered in manure over the winter. So I did not want to spread the manure over the rye. Plus the tractor tracks would have made it a mess.
Sorry no pictures of the baling/planting. I took them but the camera fell out of my pocket some where while we where baling. I had it in my jacket pocket and I think it fell out when I was checking a windrow. It may be in a bale of the rye.
Sorry to lose that camera. I have had it for 7-8 years. It was a simple little cheap camera. I hate having to learn all the bells and whistle they think you need on a new camera. I just want a simple point and shoot camera. I do not need or use all the other features. It seems that no one wants to make anything simple and reliable anymore.
You can hardly find a simple phone anymore either. They make them where they take pictures and talk on the Internet but they will not make phone call unless your standing under a tower. I have a three years old simple flip phone. I can call in my shop. My wife's and son's "smart" phones will not work there. They have to go out side for them to work. So they will do everything but what they are supposed to be for. Thats todays progress!!!
Well have a good holiday!! Think of those that paid the price for our freedom on Monday. It is not the pretty words of politicians or the money grabbers that keep us free. It is the blood, sweat and tears of our soldiers that keep us free!!!!
May God watch over those soldiers that are in harms way so they may return to their families!!!

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
