. . . And Now We're Done!

It's official -- we're done planting!  We finished yesterday just before the rains hit.  As we pulled out of the field, the rain began falling in earnest.  In fact, we got caught in a hailstorm on the drive home.  It was a new record for us:  3,000 acres of corn in just over 9 days.  We are all exhausted!  Thanks to multiple shifts, reliable equipment, a great weather window and dedicated employees the 2011 corn crop was planted in record time.

Time for a nap.  Then I gotta go spray . . .
