About Our Farm: On the Farm This Week

Wet planting season
Wed, May 7 2008
Corn planting has been very slow so far. Continued wet weather has made conditions in the field too muddy to get very much corn in the ground. We generally plant the corn maze in early to mid June.

Winter on the Farm

Things slow down a little on the farm this time of year. Grain is hauled to market and equipment repairs are made. When the temps get really cold, pond ice hockey is a favorite pass time!

Summer rains
Fri, Jul 27 2007
Summer rains have helped the crops so far. Corn and soybeans fields at Shryocks look promising. Warm wet weather is ideal this time of year for row crops. There is still a few weeks to go to produce a full crop.
