Very tough spring, delayed planting, weeds, rain.. Went to my first Pride picnic.

one of the longer springs in my life, every day was a race to beat the next rain or a rain delay.

Good thing you those nutrients back in the ground that will help the corn greatly because when you have too much water it's actually dilutes the minerals in the ground

I'm really glad now that the strip till cart was having fertility problems. So the fertilizer we put on missed the first foot of rain

[@mn-1381]

Very frustrating, but still love what I do! Maybe it was just the camera but it looked like you had the 4430 in D5 😂

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

Ha, 42" rubber makes it move!

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

Ugh, rough year. Good thing that you are getting out and about

[@bryanginder5903]

Them weeds are just green manure when you work them in Jon!

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

Rain, rain, rain, rain and more rain. I’m thankful that the barns I store stuff in are up on a hill. But there is a pond and lake that are about 800 feet away and the mosquitoes can become unbearable.

Did you try the fudge or chocolate pudding?

Looks like I’m the first one to see it

160 miles W-SW of you, got everything planted in late April...and then the rain hasn't stopped. Another 2+inches tomorrow night. Over twice as much rain since planting compared to all of 2023. Corn fields are ugly, ugly, ugly around here.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

No replant?

[@M8Stealth]

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Fields haven't been dry enough to replant...and pretty sure planting corn in July in Minnesota is a bad idea.

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

@M8Stealth ok.. I won't do corn much after June 1st. Have a PP field that will go to a grass silage mix for the cows as soon as we can get out there. Breaking out the row crop cultivator with anhydrous knives. As soon as I can get out there to bust open the soil and get air in there. Wish my soil structure was a lot better

[@gunnarbeck225]

Yeppers Dad had me pull out the 16 row row cultivator and get it ready just yesterday here comes the chiropractic bill

[@Derrick-t3o]

I didn’t know Massey Tractors gave birth to rocks. 😉😂😂

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

I heard a noise that sounded like you hit a 30 lb propane tank with a hammer. It was The Rock dropping onto the Hub

[@farawayfarm2520]

Glad you had fun at the picnic. You deserve some recreation. It's a rough planting season.

[@TAHDAHFarm]

The odds are very hi when you don't have time for it, not to work, lol.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@CraigyFarm]

Finished that seeding yet, Jon?

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

We did. Planted up till I ran out of seed in the planter, then sprayed 2 fields before the 4 inch rain. Update video coming

[@CraigyFarm]

Look forward to it young man 😊​@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754
