Busy under-describes the amount of activity going on right now.
Finished up hauling my January contracted corn this week. Glad to have that done……..it seems like it took for ever and I guess it did with all the meetings I have had and time away from the place.
Pioneer came and got their seed beans so we spent part of two days loading semis. The big plus is we got it done before the rains set in!
Progress on the new building has come to a halt with the rain and winds so no new updates or pictures of progress on that front.
Waiting on the last of the planter parts to get here so we can start the rebuild on it.
Waiting on the last of the NH3 parts so we can start the rebuild on the anhydrous tool bar.
We did get the planter monitors back from AgExpress………… that’s good news!
The next few days will be spend trying to catch up on all the paperwork that has piled up between meetings and hauling grain.
All in all, I would rather shovel grain than push papers………..
Well, it’s 2012, or something like, that and January is going to start off with a bang so to speak. A very busy month ahead for Robertson Farms. First up is the Farm Futures Management Summit followed by the KARTA meeting shortly there- after. Throw in a IEMA meeting, K9SIL meeting and some other training meetings and the bigger part of the month is gone.
In between those meetings I hope we see the start of the new machine shed as well as getting the new (to us) NH3 bar home so we can put the VRT controller on it. There is a planter to rebuild as well as the backhoe and dozer to work on. So we need to hit the ground running and not look back.
Plus if the weather allows we need to pull a few soil samples, grain to haul and some scraping to do.
Fun and busy!
If that wasn’t enough……..there’s more! First thing in the spare time is a revamp of the website. I have been wanting to a major revamp but have not had the time with all the other stuff going on this fall. The revamp will coincide with two new business ventures we are going to be entering into here on the farm. Can’t say much about them right now but I think some folks will be surprised at what we have planned. These will bring new opportunities for us in agriculture as well as begin to pave the way for the next generation of Robertson’s to enter the the operation.
Hopefully we will be making some announcements in the next 30 days or so……………..
Don’t be alarmed if I miss a day posting this month with all that’s happening.
It looks to be an exciting and busy winter!!!
The last few days my comment box has been full. Like overflowing with junk from the usual spammers but also from what I suspect is an internet phishing attack from China, North Korea or Russia. I keep getting the same comments in the same very bad English from different commenter’s but also multiple comments from the same “person” on multiple posts.
One might ask how I know or would suspect a phishing attack for one of these counties and I would say that I don’t have anything concrete but I offer up two things that make me say so.
First is comments are left on pictures I post. I don’t allow posting of comments to any pictures I post on the blog so when a comment shows up in the in box attached to a picture I know that is not the usual ”male enhancement pill” spam or the latest of what the Kardashians (spelling? who cares?) are up to or where I can see hot pictures of someone famous etc. So when “John Smithy” posts a comment to a picture and says “I find post good and helped me back often” I know its not the usual junk.
Second, I have a friend who does IT security for a big business. He and I have compared notes in the past: When I get lots of picture comments from “John Smithy” and “Jenny Smithy” and the lot he has said that they get a lot of “hits” on their security systems from “foreign” countries, specifically Asian counties, during those same times. While he wouldn’t tell me who, he didn’t say I was wrong when I mentioned that I think they come from China, N Korea and Russia.
I also suspect some come from the Middle East……..
The hits, like the comments, often have links to site that most likely will down load phishing apps to your computer. Phishing apps are looking for passwords, bank numbers and all kinds of your information besides infecting you computer and maybe passing it one to someone else or making your computer into a host for their activities.
It is also not a coincidence that this latest attack over the weekend seemed to peak as news of the death of the North Korean dictator came out………..again it seems that a lot of spam attacks happen very closely to news events in those countries I listed.
But then again what do I know………just a farm boy.
I have been working on a whole bunch of small stuff in the office, mainly fertility recommendations but also some “what if” crop planning. A few years ago I wrote a simple spreadsheet to do some what if type comparisons. Then the thing grew to a not so simple monster of a spreadsheet. I guess the correct term would be a worksheet or work book with something like 15 or 20 different linked spreadsheets in the workbook. You change your corn acres and all the sheets update: seed needs, fertility, chemicals, insurance, fuel and so forth as well as what your insurance coverages are and what your marketing price targets should be.
In running the spreadsheet the last couple of days I have had to put in acres of corn, beans and wheat as well as landlord split acres. I never realized how many sets of “acres” I have for the same acreage.
There are FSA Acres, Rented Acres, Share Acres, Spray Acres, Harvest Acres and GPS Acres to name a few.
None of them are the same.
If you farm you know……..its 40 acres you pay rent on that only has 38 acres in it by planting and spraying but is 37.2 by GPS around the boundary but shows 41 on the yield monitor and the FSA office has it down as 40.5 acres for the farm program.
So you rent 40 acres but insure 40.5 because that’s the official government measurement, you plant and spray 38 acres of inputs but combine 41 acres of crops and figure your coffee shop yields off the 37.2 acres of the GPS unit…………
All those acres add up…………
I read a story four or five years ago on a message board or magazine somewhere, I can’t remember where, about a guy who picked up every piece of spent brass (the fired brass cartridge casing) he would find. The story was several pages long and it was funny as it could be, mainly because minus a detail or two, it sounded like me to a great extent.
He talked about picking up brass that his buddies left at the range, at the side of the road, at the bend in the road, that shooting spot in the middle of nowhere or wherever he saw it lying and no one claimed it. The story also included a funny bit about finding a guy living in a house trailer in the middle of nowhere that had several oil drum barrels of spent .308 or .30-06 and how he tried to trade him out of it and ended up with one drum full. He then later went back to try to trade or buy the rest of it and to his amazement the man, trailer and everything was gone from the property except the mail box.
I can’t recall a lot of the details of the story other than those, but I remember it was titled “Confessions of a Brass Hound” or “Hoarder” or “Hunter” or something like that. It was funny.
I think everyone who shoots, picks up brass. We can’t help it. We either know someone who reloads and would want it or we reload and want it. Even the calibers we don’t shoot we will pick up because we “might get a gun that would shoot it” in the future and we would already be a leg-up on components, saving us big bucks! (Insert smiley face here)
About the time I read the article, I was working down in the southeastern part of the state in some “backroad” places and would be driving down some rock roads and find places where folks had be shooting into a creek bank or off a bridge or whatever, and I would stop and there would be brass everywhere. I would get out and pickup .38, .45, 9mm, .357, .223, .22-550 and even the occasional .270 or .30-06. I got to where I even made a loop over to the roads or bridges where I knew there was a good chance to find more brass since my last visit there if I was in the neighborhood. Some days I would have a plastic grocery sack full of brass.
Needless to say it began to accumulate that summer. I didn’t have a -06 or .270 or .45 so when I got “enough” I would sell it or trade it at the local gun shops for some components or .22 rim fire. Everyone wanted brass. It was worth a pretty penny and worth even more if I ran it through my tumbler before I tried to peddle it. The other calibers I would keep because I either reloaded those or thought “I might get one” in the near future. Again it accumulated and those calibers that I “never did get” I would sell or trade off when the notion hit me.
Fast forward to this past week.
A buddy of mine got a .308 the other day and wanted to know if I had any brass. I think he already knew the answer. I had some “just in case”. He wanted me to price it to him and after much consideration I did. He said he would have to think about it.
Then he said no he would pass.
I couldn’t imagine that I had priced it too high, so on one of the days when I was out an about I stopped by a gun shop and was asking about reloading and brass and the guy behind the counter said he was interested in buying brass so I told him I had some .308. What he said next shocked me.
“Not interested”.
What?
I guess I must have turned white or something and he followed up quickly that “.308 shooters are not reloading these days” and that “they don’t want reloads or reloading components”.
.308 shooters in this area are not interested in shooting reloads or reloading?
I guess I just find that hard to believe but apparently it is true. At least here “locally” the brass market for big calibers is dead. I can’t imagine that they are not picking up their brass. I can’t imagine that the economy is such that shooters are not considering reloading or stocking up on components. Pistol brass is still a commodity. .223 brass is a commodity. But big caliber brass is dead.
I think if I get the chance I will make a loop one of these days back down to those back roads and bridges and see what people are shooting, if anything, by what brass is laying around. And I will keep picking up brass because someone will want it or I will need it “just in case” despite what .308 shooters are doing here locally.
Between things that have to get done I have been trying to get some things done here in the office and in the house that I have neglected or that got pushed to the back burner because of everything else that has gone on this year.
One of those projects that I got started over the weekend and am hoping to finish up today is installing the new kitchen counter and sink that has been laying in the family room for the better part of 10 months. So at an hour here and a hour there I am down to installing the sink and plumbing it up.
Which means a parts run this morning…………
So off to two (2) local businesses to get the stuff I need. Why not one (1)? Because no one in this economy will stock any inventory. Its not just hardware stores its farm equipment stores and tire shops and everyone with inventory. They are all happy to order, at an additional cost, but no one has any inventory. So it takes two stops to get what a fellow needs to do an odd job.
But I am wandering off topic………
I could get started on this inventory and parts thing esp. with equipment dealers who charge a premium for ordering stuff but I won’t. I have learned to save gas on the farm side and just go online and order it that way. Its here in 24 hrs delivered to the door by the Brown Truck of Joy (UPS) and I don’t have to leave the place, drive anywhere and find out they don’t have it…….plus its always flat rate shipping that is cheaper than the gas to drive to the parts store anyway……….
But again I wander off topic……..a blog for another time.
I got home from my parts run and put the receipts down on my desk so that I could record them in the checkbook. You know a receipt, that strip of while thermal paper that comes running out of the cash register or computer printer once you complete your transaction and pay for your items. A receipt. A receipt is an evidence of purchase. A receipt is an acknowledgement that a transaction has taken place.
Well, I guess we are so stupid as a nation anymore that this morning when I put the receipt down on the desk, I noticed on top of the of the white thermal paper, in bold face type the following: THIS IS YOUR RECEIPT.
What? I mean what have people been thinking the paper they get was? THIS IS YOUR RECEIPT. KEEP THIS FOR YOUR RECORDS.
Is being able to identify what a receipt is at this particular business so difficult that they have to print THIS IS YOUR RECEIPT on the tickets? Is this some legal junk to keep them from being liable for returns or has there been a problem legally where they have to state to the customer that they have got their receipt?
If any of this is the case I don’t want to shop there anymore. Why? Because that much stupid could rub off. Both in the business that has to tell its customers what a receipt is and in the customers that shop there.
Its no wonder our country and economy is in so much trouble……………
Over the Thanksgiving break, Matthew and I got to shoot a handgun that is about 90 – 100 years old or so. It is a 1908 Pieper Bayard Pocket Pistol in .25 cal. I guess more accurately, it is in 6.35 mm, as stamped on the slide or what we know as the.25 ACP. This pistol is one of the more interesting guns I have handled from the standpoint of design and working of the action.
From what I could find out, this gun was manufactured in Belgium by the Pieper Company founded by Henri Pieper. Pieper was considered a pioneer of mass production of “sporting arms” in the late 1800′s. It is, or was, one of the smallest pistols ever built for the caliber size ( assuming this meant .380 and .32) and suffered from heavy recoil (noted several times in readings). The .25 was manufactured starting in 1912 with the .380 and .32 manufactured before that.
Here is some good summary reading on this firearm (mostly the .32) by Ed Buffaloe. There is other good reading on the Bayard if you have the time, just Google Pieper Bayard and all kinds of things come up!!
I can tell you from Matthew’s and my point of view, it wasn’t all that pleasant to shoot in .25 either. It has a very small grip and is hard for both Matthew and I to get our hands around (notice how small it is in Matthews hand below and in the top picture! (yea that’s my baby boys hand!)!) without either getting a finger in front of the barrel or getting pinched in the slide.
That isn’t to detract from the gun, or an indication I didn’t like shooting the gun, I just prefer something to hold onto when I present the gun at the target! As a short range or belly gun, the Bayard would fulfill its role quite well during the time it was built. I just prefer to shoot my targets at greater than arms length!!!
The pistol is small and heavy (as already noted) with the frame milled from one chunk of steal and the slide from another. The barrel is actualy part of the frame right above the trigger and not in the slide as most modern American handguns are. It is a simple blow back design.
To dissemble the piece, remove the magazine and insure that the gun is unloaded by visual inspection of the chamber. Then you push, then pull back and up on the front sight. This allows the recoil spring and follower to be removed.
Once the spring and follower are out you pull the slide all the way to the rear and then simply lift up off the frame. At this point you have field stripped the gun.
This particular one had been repaired as noted by the brazing done to the recoil spring housing. ( I have no idea if that is the correct term or not……..I am just a farm boy who likes to shoot, not an armorer!)
This particular gun belongs to a relative and suffered from stove piping. I got to shoot it and bring it home to clean it up and see if I could fix it. A good deep cleaning and inspection revealed that the ramp was scared a had some burrs on it as well as the extractor having carbon buildup. After a bit of polishing with the Dremel tool on the ramp, oiling and reassembly, the gun worked almost flawlessly. I say almost as we did have one more stove pipe but were able to run multiple magazines of 50 gr Aguila .25 auto through it without stoppage.
So we got to fire a piece of history as well as learn some history over Thanksgiving break. Plus we got to get that history back up and running for its owner…….pretty cool.
Persistence: To continue steadfastly or firmly in some state, purpose, course of action or the like, especially in spite of opposition remonstrance, etc..
I am trying to persist.
Its not easy it seems anymore.
Took the weekend off and went to Evansville to the Appleseed shoot at Red Brush range and had a very enjoyable time despite the 40 mph winds that played havoc with our targets both days. 20+ Americans persisted over the weekend on the line to improve our shooting skills and learn our heritage. It wasn’t easy or fun a time or two when the wind kept messing us up, but we persisted and shooters improved and learned and never quit. And we had fun despite the wind.
On the way over in the New Haven bottoms we saw lots of combines, auger wagons and trucks trying to get the harvest out in that area. They were persisting. It didn’t look like it was fun in places with the soil conditions but they were making a dent in it before it rained. Having said that, the crops looked good from the road. That however doesn’t mean much this year as a lot of fields that looked good from the road haven’t been good at all.
I got started with fall tillage yesterday but got rained out. I will persist at getting it done when the ground dries out again.
I have been trying to get back in the swing some how to keep this blog more updated and relevant but I cant seem to get it done. That being said I will persist at getting back on track………..
Headed down to see what I can do to help with the radio problems at the Region HQ for the Earthquake Exercise today. A lot of people have persisted in getting this program set up for RACES/ARES to help and we continue to persist at making sure it will work if and when we need it to work.
The “to do list” gets longer every day but we persist at working on what we can when we can and getting it done.
So in honor of persistence, this blog will be labeled as “to be continued“……..
I was going to start the week off and get back to daily blogging but when I saw the forecast for next week I went back to work. Rain most of next week the way things look right now, so I worked some ground and spread P and K and had Browns spray some fields that I knew I most likely would not get to before it rained.
I had planned on doing some blogs on some shooting videos but that will wait until next week.
Oh, next week……is the SLE 2011 or State Level Exercise for IEMA and I have to play radio man. I am not ready, and dont look to have a lot of time to get ready this weekend either…..
So for a video on shooting how about this one…….
Or this one……
We got about half an inch of rain yesterday. Now it’s cool and damp, which isnt going to allow the corn to dry much. But better weather is promised for the weekend and next week. I am ready to get the corn done and get on to soybeans.
The soybeans are just days away from cutting and this rain will help them a bit by knocking off the remaining leaves. Pioneer scouted their seed production and made an estimate yield of 35 bu/ac. I sure hope they make that and would be tickled to death if they do, but think their estimate is way high. We will see. They have a track record for being pretty close on their guess every year.
While waiting for the corn to dry and the beans to get ready, I have moved some dirt to get the site of our new shed ready. Still have work to do, but the rain interrupted that activity as well.
While moving the dirt that had been stockpiled at the other farm I found a hidden cache of copper wire , wire cutters and flashlight. I had just about ran over it with the dozer when I saw the black from the wire jacket under a pile of weeds. Luckily it had not come from our barns but wherever they got it, it was big stuff. After the LEO’s left I felt compelled to have Mr. Glock ride with me the rest of the day on the dozer, in case someone showed up to collect their stash.
And last but not least was the excitement on Monday when my ATV caught fire. Was out in a corn field sampling and some leaves got up against the motor and caught fire. I always watch the exhaust but this time it was clean and it was on the motor. I got back to the truck in time to get my water jug and threw water on it to put it out. No damage was done and I didn’t catch the field on fire……..
That’s about all the news that’s news around here right now……..
Corn harvest is all but over for us except for the last 25 acres of corn that is still in the 18-20% moisture range. I thought it would go Saturday and got fooled when the yield monitor wouldn’t go below 17.5 . So we sit and wait on that field to dry down and hope it will stand, which I don’t think is going to be a problem because the stalks look like trees out there.
We are still a 0% on soybean harvest here. The leaves have fallen off about 40% of our crop but there is still a lot of green. Everyone forgets that we planted all double crops this year behind the wheat which has contributed to our lack of soybean harvest progress.
Of note this fall is a couple of oddities or at least oddities to me. First a six inch increase in elevation seems to indicated a 75 bu/ac increase in yield on the flat fields. The difference between the low ground and high ground is remarkable. It is also worth noting that this is only true on the corn on corn fields and not the other corn after bean flat fields. That is definitely something to cogitate on this winter.
Secondly the same corn planted on the same date has greatly different moisture levels by just crossing the road. I replanted most of the corn on corn field the same day with the same number I planted on the last 30 acres. Yet there is a 6% increase in moisture on the last 30 acres vs. the replanted corn on corn. Again go figure that out.
I am sure when I get into the soybeans that I will be scratching my head as well. Beans planted on 13 July into pure hog wallow mud, they shouldn’t make a thing but they don’t seem to be look to bad from a casual scout.
Wow what a long week and it ain’t over yet! This weekend is the fall version of the Knob Creek machine gun shoot and I am having withdrawals because farm activities have a priority over seeing things shot and blown up. There is always YouTube but until they invent the scratch and sniff YouTube, its not the same!
Last Friday I finished up planting wheat. I wanted to no till the wheat into the corn stalks but it was just too tough to do so. Ended up disking the stalks once and then rolling them with the crumbler before drilling. Worked pretty good and I can row the wheat out the window of the house this morning. It was dusty, not as bad as last year but dusty, and that is a good sign to plant wheat into.
Corn harvest resumed and I hit some of the June replant corn and as I suspected it sucked. The replant corn is making about 70 bu less an acre than the May planted corn. My average is taking a big hit right now but we will see where we end up. 50 acres of corn left, not enough bin space to hold it all and I still have a few contracts to fill so it will be a balancing act between hauling it and filling the bins.
Over the weekend we went to the Marion Appleseed shoot and Matthew and Lori greatly improved their scores. Matthew came from double digits to well into the triple digits while Lori is knocking on the Rifleman score. She shot into the 200′s several times just missing Rifleman by a few points each time. I need to do some tuning to her rifle, she is getting a bunch of stovepipe jams that I feel kept her from making Rifleman. Then we will practice for the November shoot and see what she can do then!
As far as repairs go, the Cat is up on blocks and one track is off along with all the other hardware and I am ready to go back together with it. Need to get this done ASAP as I have dirt work that needs to be done in preparation for a new shed to be built. We got the grain bin fan back from Sander Electric and it needs to be re-installed so we can pump some air through some of this corn. Aeration is important!
And in case I didn’t say it somewhere else in this post: I AM MISSING KNOB CREEK (crying and gnashing of teeth)
Garrison Keillor says “its been quite week in Lake Wobegon” as he gives his monologue on his radio show each week. Well we have been so busy here the last two weeks that I have not taken due time to make an account of what has happened. Really I have spent to much time reacting to the stupidity in Springfield, Washington DC and up the road so to speak.
So………
It been a busy two weeks here at Robertson Farms. I dare say from just the stand point of getting things marked off ”the list of things to do” we accomplished more in the last 10 days than we did all spring. All things are relative so to speak so what seems like a real busy week for one might not seem so busy for others. But we have been busy.
Some of the highlights………
Matthew got the prevented planting ground mowed with the bushhog, I opted to mow instead of spray or work the ground because I just didnt want to spray it or work it up in the middle of the summer to do it again later this fall. While he was at it a neighbor wanted his pasture mowed, so Matthew got to make some back to school money for his efforts while he was in the neighborhood.
After mowing we hauled out the remaining 2010 corn from the bins and worked on getting the wheat bin drawn down. Matthew got to learn how to clean out a bin and complained bitterly that it was hot in there. Hey, as least the outside air temp was in the 80′s and not 100+ like it was a few weeks ago. (Please save your OSHA comments on the lack of shield for another time, yes I know its missing and is needed)
In the process of cleaning out the bins we also transferred seed wheat to the seed wagon in preparation for seeding later this fall. In our operation that means moving seed from one wagon to another as the need arises. Here Matthew and his great grandpa Roy monitor the flow from the holding wagon to the seed tender.
We have been mowing water ways and right of ways trying to get weeds killed and make access easier for harvest. This mowing has showed that the 50 plus inches of rain up to August has made some real washouts and gullies that will need to be fixed next summer.
Now we are getting ready for Pioneer, who will show up Friday to start hauling out the seed wheat we grew for them. At that point its time to clean out and clean up around the bins to get ready for bin inspections before we fill them up with seed production soybeans! And I hope that we get the drill and the combine washed up this week as well.
So its been a very busy week here at Robertson Farms, and it looks to stay that way for a while………
I seems that we are bombarded with experts at every turn anymore. If there is no one to serve as an expert, someone seems to always self appoint themselves. In some cases there are gatherings of experts walking all over each other trying to get to the top of the expert pile. Most of these folks while possibly well meaning or even good hearted generally have no clue what the heck they are talking about or they come across so absorbed in their own self promotion that they are not tolerable.
Case in point #1: I got a notice that a person to whom I have a very casual knowledge of had passed away. Upon following a link to read what happened I found a gaggle of experts on a discussion board that not only knew what happened to him and how it happened, but his life story in many details. The kicker is that the 4 or 5 pages of comments were dominated by three or four people who were telling all the other people they were wrong. The funniest post was were one person commented on the deceased’s connection with Illinois, to whom the lead expert on this fellow admitted he didn’t know he had any ties to Illinois then wanted proof that the commentator knew what he was talking about. Funny to me but I can just imagine how sad it might have been for any of the family members who might have happened upon this mess. I do know the “one” head expert mentioned above in this discussion, he is an expert on everything he talks about, just ask him. He is one of the skid-marks in the underwear of life that we, regrettably, cant dispatch in a burlap bag with a concrete block tied to it over a bridge into the river.
Case in point #2: While I was trying to find some ballistic information online I came across a discussion on how the .17HMR was not suitable as a coyote round and would not kill anything bigger than a prairie dog. Having dispatched coyotes, at range, with my .17HMR I thought that I must hurry out into the fields and tell these coyotes go get up and run along, despite the smell and decay, as they must be mistaken that I had killed them. The expert was using all kinds of “math” and “physics” to show that the .17 lacked the punch and power to take a dog down beyond 50 yards etc so forth at nausea. Despite testimonials and the comments of a real hunting expert (a person acknowledged as knowing what he was talking about), this fellow held to his guns that you needed a big gun to kill coyotes at range. Maybe coyotes in Ohio wear bullet proof vest or their fur is like Kevlar due to difference in their winters or something. Despite this expert, I still dispatch ole wile coyote with a .17HMR at every opportunity.
Case in point #3. I have been bombarded with propaganda to attend a farmer/consultant field day on growing corn and soybeans like a “high yield expert”. I do attend field days, when there is something to learn or there is a topic of interest. Its just part of the learning and educational process that farmers must go through if they are going to compete and stay profitable. That being said this particular field day is a big JOKE. Its put on by a couple of self promoted and self proclaimed experts whom I wouldn’t let on my farm. One half of this Abbot and Costello team I have know and been some what acquainted with for over 10 years through a friend. They are only about the sale and what they are selling today is better than what they sold yesterday. Did I say this was a joke already? What do they know? NOTHING. Most of what they are going to present is either stolen from universities, picked from other companies with similar products or services and other field days or is not proven with independent non biased research and is only being used to end up selling a couple of products that they get kick back for. Yet, with no industry certifications or qualifications, they have set themselves up as experts, and got the backing of people who should know better, on growing high yield crops and are fleecing attendees for big money when its all said and done.
Case in point #4. The University of Illinois Extension. A complete Chinese fire drill of experts who have never “been there or done that” trying to tell the world how much they know about the real world. Nuff said there.
Yes, I have had my fill of experts this year already. That is why I wont be going to any more field days, conferences or meetings other than a very select few for the remainder of the year. That is also why I have assigned junk and spam status to a lot of emails from experts and why I have erased several talk and discussion boards from my internet favorates.
The result of riding myself of so many experts is that my blood pressure is much lower lately.
Trust me, I know what I am talking about…………..
Hope to get back to normal posting next week. Just about wore out switching between implements and jobs this last week. But I did get most of my corn planted. But is ugly farming.
